Update to Managing Director’s Service Agreement
The Board of Boab Metals Limited (ASX: BML) (“ Boab ” or the ” Company ”) is pleased announce that it has updated its Executive Service Agreement (“ ESA ”) with Managing Director, Mr Simon Noon, in recognition of the Company’s transition toward becoming a Lead and Silver producer at its 75% owned Sorby Hills Project (“ Sorby Hills ” or the “ Project ”).
Since his appointment in 2013, Mr Noon has managed the Company’s exploration and evaluation of a range of projects including the Berrio high grade gold project in Colombia and the Borroloola West Copper-Zinc-Lead-Silver project in Northern Territory. Most notably, Mr Noon led the Company’s transformative acquisition of Sorby Hills in 2018.
Over the past 3 years, Mr Noon has overseen the rapid development of Sorby Hills including a 50% increase in the size of the Mineral Resource, an approximate tripling of the contained metal in the Measured and Indicated Resource categories and, most recently, the delivery of a high-quality PreFeasibility Study detailing the Project’s low risk and robust economics.
Boab Chairman, Mr Gary Comb stated: “ The Board is delighted to recongise Simon’s contribution and value at this critical juncture in the Company’s growth.
Simon’s leadership and energy has been instrumental in advancing toward a decision to mine at Sorby Hills and has placed Boab in a position where it is now fully funded to reach that decision.
We are extremely confident that Simon, and the high-quality team that he is assembling, will successfully bring Sorby Hills into production and deliver strong returns for our shareholders.”
The updated terms of the ESA includes a salary of A$320,000 per annum plus super effective from 1 January 2021. The Board acting in its capacity as the Remuneration Committee has benchmarked Mr Noon’s salary with companies at a similar stage in their development cycle. Mr Noon will formally assume the role of Chief Executive Officer (CEO) in addition to his current role as Managing Director.
There are no other material changes to the ESA terms or entitlements.
