ASX ANNOUNCEMENT / MEDIA RELEASE
ABM Resources NL to Appoint Dr Mike Etheridge as a Non-Executive Chairman
ABM Resources NL announces the proposed appointment of Dr Mike Etheridge as a Director, further strengthening its technical team and corporate governance experience, following the recent involvement of leading international geologist Dr Nick Archibald. Dr Etheridge will be appointed as the Non-Executive Chairman, to assist with ABM’s emergence as a new, well-funded and innovative explorer, focused on the Tanami-Arunta province of Australia.
From the date of the General Meeting, to be announced in the coming weeks, Dr Etheridge will assume the role of Non-Executive Chairman of ABM Resources NL, subject to all relevant shareholder approvals of the Ochre and Tanami agreements. He will be replacing Mr Imants Kins, who has contributed strongly to the company over the past four years and who will remain on the board as a Director.
Dr Etheridge is one of Australia's foremost experts in minerals geology and exploration strategy, with over 35 years' experience in exploration, mining, consulting and research. He is presently a director of Lihir Gold Limited, a major global gold producer with operations in Papua New Guinea, West Africa and Australia. Lihir produced over 800,000 Oz from its global operations for the year 2008.
Until 2004, Dr Etheridge was Chairman of SRK Consulting (Australasia), having co-founded its predecessor Etheridge Henley Williams in 1990. Prior to his current position with Lihir Gold Ltd, he held positions as Non Executive Director of Consolidated Minerals Ltd, TSX-V listed Geoinformatics Exploration Inc and AIM-listed Ariana Resources Ltd.
The Executive Chairman of ABM Resources NL, Mr Imants Kins, said “Dr Etheridge’s track record and experience in identifying and evaluating worldclass mineral deposits will be invaluable in helping the company achieve its goal of evolving into a natural resources company of global importance.”
Dr Etheridge said “I am very pleased to be joining the board of ABM Resources NL and look forward to working with an evolving team to build an Australian exploration and development company of global significance. The quality of the company’s assets along with the skill and enthusiasm of management have impressed me greatly. I particularly look forward to adding further value to the fresh direction that ABM Resources NL is embarking upon in the Tanami Province. I firmly believe that a well-funded, innovative exploration program across a substantial tenement holding in a quality mineral province provides the critical ingredients for exploration success.”

ABM Resources will continue to move ahead with its plans to build an Australian exploration company of global importance and believes the recent strategic alliance announced with Tanami Gold NL has positioned the company to take advantage of what may be one of the last genuinely underexplored, yet significantly mineralised gold-copper provinces within Australia.
