ALTONA ENERGY PLC

(“Altona” or “the Company”)

Directorate Change

The Board of Altona (Aquis Growth Market: ANR.PL), a mining exploration company in South Australia, announces the resignation of Qinfu Zhang with immediate effect.

Mr Zhang, who from 2015 served as the Executive Chairman of Altona is stepping down from the Board and as a Director of Altona, to pursue his other business interests in China, which have been affected by the Covid-19 virus.

The Company is looking to appoint a new Executive Chairman or CEO, should its current fund-raising project be successful but, in the meantime, non-Executive Director, Christian Taylor-Wilkinson, is appointed as Interim CEO.

Christian Taylor-Wilkinson, Interim CEO of Altona, commented, “We wish to thank Mr Zhang for his contribution to the board over the past five years and wish him every success in these difficult economic times.

“We are focusing on strengthening the board so as to be able to execute our In-Situ Gasification strategy on mining tenement PELA 517. We are currently in discussions with a mining Technical Director based in Australia and a possible Executive Chairman/CEO located in London. These appointments will be made in April, should we raise sufficient funds in the Open Offer.”
