ILUKA ANNOUNCES APPOINTMENT OF CEO AND MANAGING DIRECTOR

Greg Martin, the Chairman of Iluka Resources Limited (Iluka), today announced the appointment of Tom O’Leary as the new Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director of Iluka, with a planned commencement date of 5 September 2016.

Tom will succeed David Robb, who has been Managing Director since October 2006.

Greg Martin stated:

“I am very pleased to announce Tom O’Leary’s appointment. Tom is a seasoned business executive, who has run complex businesses, most recently as Managing Director of Wesfarmers Chemicals, Energy & Fertilisers Division. He has a depth of business development and capital deployment experience, including major transactional experience. Tom provides an important continuity in terms of the capital disciplines and capital allocation abilities that I know our shareholders regard highly as distinguishing features of Iluka. I am sure he will provide a new perspective and a continued dynamism to our company.”

Tom O’Leary, Iluka’s CEO and Managing Director - elect, said:

“I’m excited and delighted to be given the opportunity to lead Iluka. I’ve been at Wesfarmers for over 15 years, where the primary objective has been to deliver satisfactory returns to shareholders. I understand that a similar objective, to be delivered through the application of sound financial disciplines, is also a core expectation of Iluka’s shareholders. I believe that is best achieved through the performance of highly engaged teams. I’m proud of the team I will leave in place in Wesfarmers Chemicals, Energy & Fertilisers and I look forward to working closely with the Iluka team.”

As foreshadowed in its ASX Release of 22 March 2016, the Board of Directors, as part of its succession planning, was targeting a transition during the second half of 2016. David will ensure a smooth transition to Tom’s commencement.
