Director Retirement
Highfield Resources Limited (“Highfield” or the “Company”) wishes to advise that, non-executive Director, Mr James (Jim) Dietz, has decided to retire and step down from the Highfield Board with effect from 18 February 2021.
Mr Dietz, who is 74, was planning to retire from the Board at the next AGM.

He helped to consolidate the Company’s sales and marketing strategy and has provided invaluable insights into the global potash market. Independent Director, Mr Roger Davey will replace Mr Dietz as a member of the Company’s Remuneration and Nomination Committee. The Committee will continue to comprise a majority of independent non-executive Directors.
Retired Director, Mr Dietz, said: “It was a pleasure to work with Highfield on Muga, it is a very unique project with many positive attributes, and I wish the Company all the success in the future.”
Non-executive Chairman, Mr Crookes, commented : “I would like to thank Jim on behalf of the Board for all that he has contributed over the years. Jim has had a key role in shaping Highfield during his five years as a Director. I know I speak for all the Board when I wish him well and all the best for the future.”
