" I was saddened to learn of Andrew's intended retirement since we have worked together for many years in many different countries on many different projects. Andrew's all-round expertise and willingness to tackle any eventuality is unique in our space and his contribution will be sorely missed both as a friend and a colleague. Andrew has kindly agreed to give ongoing assistance and advice where appropriate, and I am sure we will be calling on this generous offer.  Last but not least I and the Board wish Andrew all the best for a well-deserved, long and happy retirement.  I welcome Ed to the Board as Technical Director of the Company and look forward to his contribution to what is an exciting portfolio of developing assets. Ed has very broad experience and brings high-quality geological assessment and experience to our team.
