DIRECTORATE CHANGE
A&R announces that Mr. Robin Andrews, Chairman of the Company, and Dr. Tom
Elder, Non-executive director of the Company, are both retiring from the board
of the Company with effect from 31st January 2009.
Mr. Andrews is the founder of A&R and was responsible for obtaining the
exploration licence for the Company's principal asset, the Black Angel mine in
Greenland. He initiated the transformation of the Company from its initial focus
on exploration to its current objective of becoming a successful international
mining company.
As one of the original Cominco team which first drilled at the prospect that
subsequently became the Black Angel Mine, Dr. Elder has added significant value
to the recent exploration effort.
The board would like to thank both Mr. Andrews and Dr. Elder for their
contribution to the Company.
Given the present state of the economic climate, the decision has been reached
that their respective roles will, for the time being, be absorbed by the
remaining members of the Board. In due course A&R will recruit additional
directors with appropriate background and qualifications.
Mr. Andrews comments:
"It is with mixed feelings that I have decided to step down as Chairman of Angus
& Ross plc but I feel that it is now time for a change. The new management team
led by our CEO, Mr. Nick Hall, with the crucial support of Cyrus Capital
Partners is now fully capable of successfully developing the Black Angel
project.
I am now convinced that the Company will survive these very difficult times and
that shareholders' fortunes will be reversed. We have one of the world's richest
zinc/lead deposits in what I believe will become a proven zinc "province".
Greenland is a mining friendly country with an exciting future.
I would like to take this opportunity of thanking the shareholders for their
support and also all directors and employees, both past and present, who have
worked tirelessly to keep the dream of creating a successful mining company
alive. We pass on the baton to the new team which, I believe, has every chance
of making that dream a reality."
