BERKELEY MINERAL RESOURCES PLC
("BMR" or "The Company")
Appointment of Chairman
Berkeley Mineral Resources Plc, which is primarily engaged in
processing mining tailings at Kabwe, Zambia through its
wholly-owned subsidiary Enviro Processing Ltd ("EPL"), is pleased
to announce that, following the departure of Mr Masoud Alikhani who
resigned from the Board on 17 October 2014 for health reasons, Mr
Alex Borrelli has been appointed as Chairman of the Board.
Alex Borrelli, FCA, aged 58, qualified as a chartered accountant
with Deloitte, Haskins & Sells, London in 1982. He then moved
into investment banking, with Shore Capital, Granville and CCF
Laurence Prust, and has acted on a wide variety of corporate
transactions in a senior role for over 20 years, including
flotations, takeovers, mergers and acquisitions for private and
quoted companies (on the Official List, AIM, and PLUS, now ISDX).
Alex was, until recently, chairman of Ablon Group Limited, a real
estate group with a portfolio valuation of ca EUR400 million in
Central Europe (formerly listed on the Main Market, standard
segment, of the London Stock Exchange prior to being the subject of
a successful cash offer in 2013). He is a non-executive director of
a number of listed and unquoted companies including Metal Tiger plc
and Prego International Limited.
As Chairman of the Company, Mr Alex Borrelli said:
"I would like to acknowledge the considerable achievement of
Masoud Alikhani, my predecessor as Chairman of BMR. Under his
stewardship, BMR acquired the impressive resources of lead and zinc
at the Kabwe mine and has secured the necessary licences and
environmental approvals to allow processing to commence.
"I now look forward to working with Mark Wainwright who has
taken the role as Acting Chief Executive Officer and who provides
continuity from his years as a non-executive director."
Acting CEO Mark Wainwright commented:
"We welcome Alex as the Company's new Chairman. The technical
specifications of the washplant tailings processing plant at Kabwe
are currently being finalised by our consultants and the Board is
intent in proceeding to production as soon as possible."
