I have great confidence in Andrada's future, and in the Board's ability to guide the Company through its next phase of growth.
Neil and Lili bring skills and extensive experience that will further strengthen the Board and support the execution of Andrada's strategic objectives. Their combined expertise spans mining operations, project development, strategic transactions, governance, regulatory matters and stakeholder engagement, all of which will be valuable as Andrada continues to advance its portfolio of critical minerals assets.
I am also delighted that Gida Nakazibwe Sekandi will succeed me as Chair. Since joining the Board in May 2023, she has made a significant contribution to its work, including its governance, remuneration and ESG oversight. From March 2026, she has served as the chair of the Remuneration and Nominations Committee. Gida is a highly regarded leader in the Namibian business community.Her strong governance credentials, extensive board experience, sound understanding of the Company, together with her professional and board experience across the ,mining, financial services, energy and social sectors in Namibia.
