The Company notes the outcome for Resolution 2 and recognises the differing interpretations of the benefits of Non-Executive Directors holding options and believes there are benefits for wider shareholder alignment vis-à-vis its potential to impact the perception of independence.

 

The growth of Greatland in recent years has been substantial and its success has been supported by the contribution of an experienced Board and executive management team. The Company's view is that a strong Board and executive team is essential for Greatland's continued success, particularly as it moves through development and into maiden production of its flagship asset.

Greatland would like to reiterate that the Board considers all the Non-Executive Directors to be independent in judgement and character. In demonstrating its commitment to continued strong corporate governance, in September 2021 the Board recognised the need to strengthen its independence by appointing Paul Hallam as a Non-Executive Director of the Company, which increased the ratio of Board independence from 50% to 75%. Furthermore, the Board recognises the value of good governance and complies with the guidelines contained in the QCA Corporate Governance Code and is undertaking a search for additional high quality Non-Executive Directors.

Notes for Editors:

 

Greatland Gold plc (AIM:GGP) is a mining development and exploration company with a focus on precious and base metals. The Company's flagship asset is the world-class Havieron gold-copper deposit in the Paterson region of Western Australia, discovered by Greatland and presently under development in Joint Venture with Newcrest Mining Ltd.

Havieron is located approximately 45km east of Newcrest's Telfer gold mine and, subject to positive decision to mine, will leverage the existing infrastructure and processing plant to significantly reduce the project's capital expenditure and carbon impact for a low-cost pathway to development. An extensive growth drilling programme is presently underway at Havieron with a maiden Pre-Feasibility Study released on the South-East crescent on 12 October 2021. Construction of the box cut and decline to develop the Havieron deposit commenced in February 2021.

Greatland has a proven track record of discovery and exploration success. It is pursuing the next generation of tier-one mineral deposits by applying advanced exploration techniques in under-explored regions. The Company is focused on safe, low-risk jurisdictions and is strategically positioned in the highly prospective Paterson region. Greatland has a total six projects across Australia with a focus on becoming a multi-commodity mining company of significant scale.
