Appointment of Chief Commercial Officer

Berkeley Energia is pleased to announce the appointment of Mr Sean Wade as Chief Commercial Officer of the Company, where he will be responsible for identifying and leading strategic business development opportunities for the Company.

Prior to joining Berkeley Energia, Mr Wade was Director of International Media and Investor Relations at TBC Bank, Georgia's largest universal bank. During his time at TBC, Mr Wade played a leading role in the listing of the shares on the Premium Segment of the London Stock Exchange and the inclusion of the company in the FTSE250 Index. He managed a wide-ranging communications portfolio involving a broad array of different stakeholders.

Prior to TBC Bank, Mr Wade was Head of Investor Relations and Group Communications at Asia Resource Minerals and part of the team that managed the separation transaction and subsequent sale of the business, allowing shareholders a clean exit in a challenging environment for thermal coal.

"I am delighted to welcome Sean to Berkeley Energia. His broad experience in communications, branding and capital markets will be a vital addition to the team as we complete detailed reviews at the Salamanca mine to ensure that optimal capital and operating costs are achieved prior to full construction commencing.
