"We warmly welcome Sultan Al-Ghaithi to the Board of Aminex and look forward to harnessing his impressive technical and commercial background as we continue to plan and execute the upcoming drilling programme in the Ruvuma Basin, Tanzania.

During the course of the last year, we have considerably expanded our management and technical team and, in addition to today's announcement, we expect to make further Board appointments of independent non-executive directors in the near future."
