("Greatland Gold" or "the Company")
Appointment of Director
Greatland Gold plc (LON:GGP), the London Stock Exchange AIM
quoted precious, base and strategic metals exploration and
development company is pleased to announce the appointment of
Gervaise Heddle as a Non-Executive Director of Greatland Gold with
effect from today's date.
After obtaining degrees in Economics (Honours) and Arts
(Jurisprudence) at the University of Adelaide, and qualifying as a
CFA charterholder, Gervaise worked as an investment analyst before
becoming a Director of Merrill Lynch Investment Managers and a
Division Director of Macquarie Bank. As Founder and Managing
Director of Bletchley Economics, he is well known as an economics
commentator and provides investment consulting services. This wide
experience of law, accounting, business, economics and investments,
with significant resource sector exposure, brings a valuable new
dimension to the board.
Andrew Bell, Chairman of Greatland Gold commented: "We are
delighted to have Gervaise Heddle join the board of Greatland Gold
and we look forward to drawing on his insight and diverse business
experience as we continue the process of building the Company into
a substantially larger and more diverse resource business.
Greatland Gold is currently focused on projects in Western
Australia and Tasmania, and as Gervaise is a resident of Australia
he is well placed to provide support to Executive Director Callum
Baxter in-country. This teamwork approach will be crucial as we
begin to implement our plans to further our Australian interests
and potentially augment existing interests with a number of new
opportunities currently under consideration.
Investors should be aware that Greatland Gold is moving into a
highly proactive phase and following launch of the drilling
campaign at Bromus shortly, we anticipate a number of new
initiatives will be undertaken and announced to market."

Notes for Editors:
Greatland Gold plc is London listed (LON:GGP) natural resource
exploration and development company with a current focus on gold
and nickel exploration projects.
The Company has four main projects; two situated in Western
Australia and two in Tasmania. All projects are 100% owned by
Greatland.
Greatland is seeking to identify large mineral deposits in areas
that have not been subject to extensive exploration previously. It
is widely recognised that the next generation of large deposits
will come from such under-explored areas and Greatland is applying
advanced exploration techniques to investigate a number of
carefully selected targets within its focused licence
portfolio.
The Company is also actively investigating a range of new
opportunities in precious and strategic metals and will update the
market on new opportunities as and when appropriate.
