Board Changes & Sprott Capital Advisor Appointment HIGHLIGHTS
  • Mr. Andy Beckwith (Geologist) to be appointed as Technical Director & continues in the executive role of Operations Manager
  • Mr. Brett Lambert (Engineer) to be appointed as a Non- Executive Director
  • Mr. Davide Bosio to step down from the Board
  • Sprott Capital Limited of Ontario Canada engaged to assist with North American capital markets activities

De Grey Executive Chairman, Simon Lill, stated: "The Board has long recognised the need to present a more resource orientated Board to the market. We look forward to our ongoing and now more formal relationship with Mr. Beckwith and a new relationship with Mr Brett Lambert, who has come highly recommended.

I also thank Davide Bosio for his significant contribution to the Company. We look forward to an ongoing relationship with he and his firm."

Board Changes

De Grey Mining Limited (De Grey, Company, ASX: DEG) advises that effective from the close of today's General Meeting of Shareholders, 2017, Mr. Davide Bosio will be stepping down from the Board and Messrs. Andy Beckwith and Brett Lambert agreeing to appointments to the Board.

The board changes reflect the progress made by De Grey in advancing the Pilbara Gold Project towards production and equips the company with additional skills and experience to guide it through feasibility study, project financing, development and construction.

Pilbara Gold Project - Unlocking Shareholder Value

As part of this transformation, Mr. Davide Bosio will step down from the Board to concentrate on his activities at stockbrokers DJ Carmichael Pty Limited. Mr. Bosio first approached the Company to underwrite a rights issue at a time when funds were scarce for junior resource companies, and consequently joined the Board on 18 December 2015. He has contributed strongly throughout that time, and was instrumental in the negotiations associated with the option to acquire Indee Gold Pty Ltd. He has been a key part in advancing the Pilbara Gold Project and we thank him for his efforts.

Shortly after that capital raising De grey regained control of the Turner River tenements. The Board requested Mr. Andy Beckwith to review the project and to recommend options as to sale, joint venture or ongoing development. Mr. Beckwith recommended that De Grey continue with the project, and has driven the exploration and acquisition programs since March of 2016. He is a well- recognised exploration geologist with a focus dominantly on gold. He also has significant management experience in the ASX resource sector and has been a key contributor of De Grey for some time.

Mr. Beckwith will take on the role of Technical Director and remain as Operations Manager.

The Pilbara Gold Project is a multiple pit development to be processed through a new centralised processing plant, as outlined in the scoping study completed earlier this year (ASX: "Positive Scoping Study completed at Pilbara Gold Project" 4 August 2017). This study outlined a base case five year mine life and a throughput of 1million tonnes per annum averaging around 60,000 ounces per year. Significant potential remains to increase projected ore recovery from the now 23.9M tonne resource base through expanded open pit mining and underground development, such that the Board recognized the need for a Mining Engineer to be part of the development team. De Grey has been fortunate that Mr Brett Lambert has agreed to join the Board.

Mr. Lambert is a professional mining engineer and experienced company director with over 30 years involvement in the resource industry encompassing operations, project development, business development and corporate administration. He has previously worked on both open pit and underground operations and has a strong track record in resource project development and is therefore well placed to assist the Company to move forward with its planned Pilbara Gold Project development.

Sprott Capital Partners ("SCP") Mandate

The Company has appointed SCP as advisors to assist the Company with its North American awareness and marketing arrangements, including providing strategic capital advice to the Company.

This will commence with a roadshow being undertaken by the Company during November/December.
