Board
") at the
annual general meeting of shareholders to be held on May 27, 2026 (the "

").
Mr. Marshall is a mining engineer with over 45 years in the sector, the last 25 years of which were in
senior leadership roles. Keith has developed a wealth of managerial and technical experience in all
aspects of underground mining and operations. Mr. Marshall's last two operational roles were both with
Rio Tinto, with whom he worked for 22 years, as Managing Director of the Palabora Mining Company in
South Africa and as President of the Oyu Tolgoi Project in Mongolia. Mr. Marshall holds a mining
engineering degree from the Royal School of Mines at Imperial College London.
Following the AGM, the Board intends to appoint Mr. Marshall to the Board's Safety, Sustainability and
Technical Committee ("
SSTC
") which will be comprised of Co-Chairs Mr. Warwick Morley-Jepson and
Ms. Philipa Varris, along with Mr. Marshall.
The Company also announces that Mr. Chris Leavy and Mr. James Gowans have advised the Board that
they will not be standing for re-election at the AGM.
"We are pleased that Keith has agreed to stand for election to the Board," said Paul Martin, Chairman of
the Board. "Keith will bring significant operational and technical experience to the Company at a time
when the Selebi and Selkirk projects are advancing from primarily an exploration focus to the pre-
development studies stage. His mining background and experience will be extremely beneficial to the
Company. I would also like to thank Jim and Chris for their counsel and guidance during their respective
periods on the Board."
The remaining seven nominees are currently members of the Board, being Paul Martin, Mark
Christensen, Jason LeBlanc, Warwick Morley-Jepson, André van Niekerk, Philipa Varris and Sean
Whiteford.
