APPOINTMENT OF NEW CHAIRMAN
The directors of Bathurst Resources Limited (“BRL”) today announce that Toko Kapea, non-executive director and Chairman of the board of directors (“Board) of BRL, will retire from his position on the Board as of 1 July 2021. He will be succeeded by current independent non-executive director Peter Westerhuis from 1 July 2021.
Mr Kapea has served as a director of BRL since 2013 and as Chairman since 2015. Mr Kapea said of his decision to retire: “It has been a pleasure to sit on BRL’s Board and see the company through these last 8 years from its humble beginnings to its position today as that of New Zealand’s leading coal producer and exporter.
Mr Westerhuis’s vast experience and leadership in the mining industry, as well as deep knowledge of BRL, will be invaluable in steering the company in the years ahead and make him an excellent choice as Chairman to lead BRL.”
Mr Westerhuis notes that: “It is an honour to be elected Chairman of BRL. I am proud of what we have already achieved and firmly believe that BRL is well positioned to continue to create value for the long-term.”
As a result of these changes Francois Tumahai, recently appointed non-executive independent director, has been appointed member of the Remuneration and Nomination Committee and Audit and Risk Committee.
The Board wish to extend their gratitude to Mr Kapea for his valued contribution to the company and wish him well for the future.
Approved for release by the Board of BRL.
