Bannerman Energy Ltd (ASX: BMN, OTCQX: BNNLF, NSX: BMN) advises that Mr Mike Leech has tendered his resignation as a Non-Executive Director of the Company, effective today, for personal reasons. Mr Leech will continue in his role as a Director of Bannerman’s Namibian subsidiary, Bannerman Mining Resources (Namibia) (Pty) Ltd.Â
Mr Leech has served as a Non-Executive Director of the Company since April 2017 and, more recently, as Chair of the Audit Committee (a role which will now be assumed by Non-Executive Director, Ms Felicity Gooding).Â
Following the recent appointments of Ms Felicity Gooding and Mr Bruce McFadzean as Non-Executive Directors of Bannerman, the Board has determined that its composition is appropriate at this current point in time and will not be seeking to appoint a replacement director in the near term.
“Although Mike’s role within the Bannerman group is changing, I am very pleased to continue working with him through his ongoing directorship of our Namibian subsidiary. Our Board has benefited greatly from Mike’s skills and experience over the last eight years, particularly his extensive knowledge of operating uranium mines within Namibia. Mike has played an instrumental role in helping advance Etango to its current stage and will provide ongoing leadership in-country as we progress through the construction phase of the Etango mine. On behalf of the entire Bannerman Board, I extend a heartfelt thank you to Mike for his outstanding contribution over the journey to date.”
