Appointment of Chief Executive Officer

Yellow Rock Resources Limited (“Company”) (“Yellow Rock”) (ASX: YRR) is pleased to announce the appointment of David “Lorry” Hughes as Chief Executive Officer.

Mr Hughes is an economic geologist and corporate executive with over 20 years’ experience in Australia and internationally across all aspects of the resources industry including exploration, development, mining and finance.

More recently, Lorry was Managing Director and CEO of ASX listed South Boulder Mines Limited where he successfully oversaw the discovery and initial development of the Colluli Potash Project in Eritrea. In addition he managed STB’s Australian exploration portfolio, which resulted in the Rosie Ni-Cu-PGE discovery by joint venture partner Independence Group NL in the Duketon Greenstone Belt Western Australia.

The appointment of Lorry follows a recent rights issue and capital raising as the Company prepares for the next stage of development at its core Gabanintha Fe-Ti-V and Copper and Gold projects in Western Australia.

Commenting on Mr Hughes’s appointment, Executive Director Les Ingraham said “The Board is delighted to have attracted someone of Mr Hughes quality to the Company and has strong confidence in his ability to lead the Company and deliver growth in shareholder value. His strong technical skills and experience with the international finance industry will greatly assist in the development of Yellow Rock’s projects and future growth.”

Mr Hughes said to be involved in the next stage of development of Yellow Rock is fantastic opportunity.

“Yellow Rock has exciting vanadium, uranium, copper and gold projects that I believe have unrealised value.”

Mr Hughes holds a BSc in Geology, is member of the AusIMM and resides in Perth, Western Australia.
