He has had over 20 years of geological experience in the mining industry including exploration and management roles with BHP Billiton (ASX: BHP), Newcrest Mining Limited (ASX: NCM), A-Cap Resources Limited (ASX: ACB) and Botswana Metals Limited.

About Botswana Metals Limited:

BML is exploring for nickel , copper , cobalt , tantalum and lithium within its 1,500 square kilometre exploration portfolio . These “new world” metals are becoming increasingly important as the world switches to cleaner sources of energy.

The company announced a maiden JORC Inferred Resource of 2.38Mt at 0.72% Ni, 0.21% Cu, and 0.73g/t PGE + Au on 28[th] April 2015 from drilling within a small 185 square kilometre section of its exploration portfolio in which it had entered a joint venture with BCL. At the time cobalt was not included in the resource calculation.

Historical drilling outside of the joint venture ground has intercepted further nickel as well as significant intercepts of copper and cobalt.

A soil sampling program detected traces of lithium and tantalum which warrant further exploration.

Steve was based in Botswana for six years where he led several geological teams in his roles as Exploration Manager intermittently with A-Cap Resources Limited and BML.

The Board is delighted to have appointed Steve to the Board as he brings a wealth of experience and local knowledge of Botswana.

An Appendix 3X form in respect of Mr Groves is attached.

Resignation of Mr Massimo Cellante

Mr Cellante has resigned as a non-executive Director of the Company due to other commitments. The Board records its sincere appreciation to Mr Cellante for his service since 2009 and acknowledges his extremely valuable contribution to the Company. The Board wishes him well with his future endeavours.

An Appendix 3Z form in respect of Mr Cellante is attached.

Large tracts of BML’s exploration portfolio remain unexplored.
