As announced by Rockfire on 17 September 2017 David Price, Chief
Executive Officer of the Company, was a director of ASX-listed
Convergent Minerals Limited ("Convergent"), a mineral exploration
company, when it entered voluntary administration on 30 October
2015. At that time, Mr Price had overseen the exploration, Scoping
Study, Pre-feasibility Study, Feasibility Study and Permitting
stages of the Mt Holland Gold Project in Western Australia. The
independent, third-party company which had been mandated to secure
Project Finance failed to secure the finance, resulting in
Convergent and its subsidiaries entering Voluntary Administration.
In addition to Convergent, and in accordance with Rule 17 and
Schedule 2(g) of the AIM Rules for Companies, Mr. Price confirms he
was also a director of both of Convergent's wholly-owned subsidiary
companies, AFL Resources Pty Limited and NQ Metals Pty Limited,
which entered voluntary administration at the same time on 22
December 2015. A Deed of Company Arrangement was subsequently
entered into and Convergent and its two subsidiaries came out of
administration on 14 January 2016.
