Andrada Mining Limited announce the appointment to the board of Hiten Mohanlal Ooka, the Chief Financial Officer ("CFO"), as Executive Director and Gida Nakazibwe Sekandi as Non-Executive Director, with immediate effect. Hiten (42) joined Andrada as CFO in July 2022 following a three-year tenure as the Group Head of Finance at the AIM-listed Bushveld Minerals, during which time he positively transformed the finance and governance functions. In the past 15 years, he has held senior financial management roles at multinational mining and trading groups, including as Head of Finance at Eurasian Resources Group (Africa) and Group Financial Manager at Trafigura (Mining Division).

Hiten is a Chartered Accountant registered with the South African Institute of Chartered Accountants. Gida (70) is a qualified lawyer and accomplished businessperson with extensive executive and operational experience spanning 28 years in well-known entities in the mining, financial services, and private equity sectors, both within Namibia and internationally. She honed her mining experience over 13 years at the former Rio Tinto operation, Rossing Uranium Mine located in Swakopmund, Namibia where she managed the communications strategy ultimately rising to the position of Head of Corporate Affairs and Communications.

Importantly, Gida has over 15 years board experience in listed entities and is currently an independent, non-executive director and chairperson of the Sustainability and Ethics Committee of the Capricorn Limited Group board. She also serves on several other boards including Alpha Namibia Industries Renewable Energy Power Limited ("ANIREP"), the first energy company listed on the Namibian Stock Exchange. ANIREP is largely expected to play a leading role in the production of solar energy in Namibia, as a substitute for the electricity imported from South Africa.

She volunteers at several non-profit organisation boards including Woman@Work and is a life member of the Namibian Institute for Corporate Governance. Gida will serve on Andrada's ESG board committee whose mandate is to ensure that best practices are embedded in the Company's operations. To date, the committee has been instrumental in the development of the ESG strategy, compliance systems and policies.
