Nyrstar announces Changes to the Nyrstar Management Committee

30 September 2016 at 08.30pm CEST

Nyrstar NV ("Nyrstar" or the "Company") today announces that given the progress of the mining divestment process and the subsequent reduced management requirements in the Mining segment, John Galassini, Senior Vice President of Mining, is leaving Nyrstar to pursue other opportunities.

Bill Scotting, Chief Executive Officer of Nyrstar, said: "I would like to thank John for his contribution to the Company and the Nyrstar Management Committee over the past year as we have restructured and successfully reduced the negative cash flow in the mining business. I wish John every success in his future endeavours."

Going forward, the mining leadership team will report to Bill Scotting while the mining divestment process progresses in line with Company's strategy.
