NMT BOARD SUCCESSION PLANNING

Innovative project development company, Neometals Ltd (ASX: NMT) (“ Neometals ” or “ the Company ”), advises that after almost 20 years serving in executive, chair and non-executive director capacities, Mr David Reed, intends to retire from the Board at the upcoming Annual General Meeting on 30[th] November 2021.

David founded Neometals (previously Reed Resources Ltd) in 2003 as Executive Chairman and has been instrumental in the Company’s success. David became a Non-executive Chairman in 2012, Non-executive director in 2015 and has been pivotal in guiding Neometals’ growth in the minerals sector and its transition towards sustainable materials recovery. Given Neometals’ current robust market position and strength of board composition, David has chosen to step aside at this time in order to focus on his family and his extensive involvement in charitable endeavours.

As a major shareholder, David has a vested interest in the Company’s ongoing success and his industry insights will remain important to Neometals as it approaches a dual listing on the London Stock Exchange with multiple project financial investment decisions foreshadowed in 2022.

Neometals’ Chairman, Steven Cole commented:

“As a founding Director of Neometals, David has been instrumental in guiding the Company to its present position of strength. David’s counsel, industry insights and character, both at the board table and in the community, will be missed. As a veteran in the ASX listed minerals and materials space, David’s ethical standards and approach to organisational culture are now ingrained as the way of doing business for the Company. We all thank David for his service and the legacy of his contribution.”

Retiring Non-Executive director, David Reed said:

“After 20 years of active involvement with Neometals, the Company and its stakeholders all remain dear to my heart. I remain actively invested as a major shareholder going forward and I know I leave the Company in the capable hands of the current Board, led by Steven Cole as Chair, and its CEO Chris Reed, with whom I proudly co-founded the original Company on its 2002 ASX listing.”
