ASX ANNOUNCEMENT
Mr John Fillmore, founding Chairman of Metminco, resigns from Metminco Board.
16 March 2011
The founding chairman of Metminco Limited (ASX:MNC), Mr John Fillmore, has announced his resignation from the Company’s Board of directors after guiding Metminco from its Initial Public Offering in 2007 to today’s market capitalisation of over $A500 million.
Mr Fillmore wishes to devote more time to developing new mining and exploration ventures as well as focussing on his growing Melbourne legal practice.
Mr Fillmore said, “Metminco is an outstanding exploration company with very strong prospects of becoming a world-class mine operator. It has been a privilege to be Metminco’s chairman and I look forward to its continued success.”
John Fillmore has provided Metminco with outstanding service as Chairman and has the board’s unanimous and heartfelt thanks and best wishes.
The Metminco Board has appointed Mr Antonio Vicuna Ortuzar (48), a Chilean national and resident, to the Board of the Company with immediate effect. Mr Ortuzar, a lawyer by profession, is a highly respected figure in the global resources sector and has extensive experience and networks in the financial markets in both North and South America as well as in London. Mr Ortuzar will assume the role of Chairman of the Board.
Apart from Metminco’s flagship project, the Los Calatos copper/molybdenum operation in Peru, all of Metminco’s exploration and development projects are located in Chile.
The acceptance of the position of chairman by Mr Ortuzar will be of great assistance to Metminco as it explores its gold and copper projects in South America and moves towards production in the period ahead. He will be able to work closely with the Managing Director, William Howe who is also based in Santiago.
