Director Appointment

 

GoldStone Resources Limited (AIM: GRL), the West and Central Africa focused gold exploration company quoted on AIM, is pleased to announce the appointment of Angela List as a Non-Executive Director to its Board of Directors (the "Board").

 

Angela is a director of BCM Investment Limited ("BCM"), which following its participation in the Company's recent fundraise announced on 27 September 2017, is interested in approximately 20.08 per cent. of the Company's issued share capital.  BCM is part of the wider BCM Group of companies ("BCM Group"), which are one of Africa's largest private contract miners.

 

The Board looks forward to working alongside Angela, who has significant operational and in-country expertise, to further the Company's business objectives in Ghana.  Her trusted network throughout Africa extends from Government authorities through to the local communities where the BCM Group operates.  Most recently, Angela was instrumental in the BCM Group acquiring a 90 per cent. interest in the Nzema Mine in Ghana, formerly owned by TSX-listed Endeavour Mining Corporation.

 

Angela joined the BCM Group in 2001 as Finance Director and has overseen significant growth throughout the business, increasing total assets from approximately US$21 million up to US$246 million as at 2016.  In the same manner revenues have increased from approximately US$20 million in 2001 to approximately US$111 million in 2016.  Prior to this Angela was a member of the audit team at KPMG Ghana Limited.

 

The Company confirms that it intends to appoint an additional independent Non-Executive Director, and the Company looks forward to updating shareholders in due course.

 

Bill Trew, Non-Executive Chairman of GoldStone, commented: 

"I am delighted to welcome Angela to the Board of GoldStone, as she brings a wealth of experience to the GoldStone team.  Her business acumen and diverse experience across many disciplines which, in particular, involves mining throughout West Africa, will be a great asset to assist the Company in building value from proposition through to mining and production and bringing shareholder value to the Company."
