“Mark’s new role as CEO strengthens Lexington Gold’s executive team and formalises a division of responsibilities that plays to our respective strengths and skillsets. Mark and I already work closely together and I look forward to continuing that close working relationship under the revised team structure.
“I will remain actively involved as an Executive Director, while focusing more intensively on advancing our technical and operational activities, particularly the Kroonstad Project and our Jelani JV Project with Harmony Gold.”
Mark Greenwood, Chief Executive Officer of Lexington Gold, commented:
“I am delighted to assume the role of CEO and to continue working closely with Bernard, Ed and the wider Lexington Gold team. Bernard and I already work in tandem, and the revised structure provides a clear and complementary division of our respective responsibilities as we continue to pursue the group’s devleopment.
“Bernard has played a central role in building and advancing Lexington Gold’s South African portfolio to date, including the Jelani JV Project, which hosts a JORC (2012) compliant Mineral Resource Estimate of approximately 6.02 million ounces of gold. His continued leadership of the technical and operational development of these assets will be important as we move forward.
“As a long term significant shareholder in Lexington Gold, my interests are completely aligned with those of our valued wider shareholder base and I look forward to contributing my experience and access to my network across the Company’s corporate, capital markets and business development activities.”
Ed Nealon, Chairman of Lexington Gold, commented:
“Lexington Gold is entering an important stage in the advancement of its South African project portfolio and the Board believes that broadening the Company’s executive capacity and formalising the division of responsibilities between Bernard and Mark is the right organisational structure for this next phase of development.
“Bernard has made a significant contribution to the development of the Company to date and, in particular, in building and advancing our South African assets. He remains an Executive Director and will continue to lead the technical and operational advancement of these projects, while having greater flexibility to also pursue his other business interests.
“Bernard and Mark already have a close working relationship which will continue. Mark’s move to the role of CEO adds complementary corporate, capital markets and business development expertise to the executive team, and I look forward to working with both of them as we progress the Company’s portfolio and continue to demonstrate the quality and value of the Company’s assets, including the Jelani JV Project with Harmony Gold.”
