Board Appointments
Goldplat plc, the AIM listed gold producer, is pleased to announce the
Board appointments of Sango Ntsaluba as Non-Executive Director and
Werner Klingenberg as Finance Director, both with immediate effect. Mr.
Ntsaluba is Chairman of Goldplat Recovery (Pty) Ltd and is a pre-eminent
name in the accountancy and auditing profession in South Africa. Having
previously held the position of Goldplat's Group Financial Manager, Mr.
Klingenberg has a solid knowledge and understanding of the Company's
gold recovery and mining operations. He takes over as Goldplat's Finance
Director from Ian Visagie who remains on the Board as an Executive
Director, in which role the Board can continue to draw upon his
extensive experience as a founder of Goldplat, Finance Director and
previous acting CEO. Together they will be critical in supporting the
continued growth of Goldplat as it looks to build its productivity and
profitability. This growth is mainly being driven through the
international expansion of the Company's gold recovery operations in
South Africa and Ghana and the construction of a new processing facility
to increase capacity at its gold mine in Kenya.
Mr. Ntsaluba is the executive chairman and co-founder of NMT Capital, a
diversified investment holding group. He has built an illustrious career
within South Africa, spanning over 30 years. This includes successfully
founding Sizwe Ntsaluba Gobodo, one of South Africa's 'Big 5' accounting
firms. Alongside a distinguished auditing career, Mr Ntsaluba has
extensive corporate experience in areas that include logistics and the
automotive industry. He currently serves as an independent board member
of Barloworld Limited, a leading global industrial company listed on the
Johannesburg Stock Exchange ("JSE"), with responsibility for chairing
the group's audit committee. He also serves on the boards of Pioneer
Foods, a producer and distributor of a range of branded food and
beverage products, as well as Basil Read Holdings Limited, a diversified
construction company. Both of these companies are also listed on the
JSE. Mr. Ntsaluba is the Chairman of the board of Goldplat's subsidiary,
Goldplat Recovery (Pty) Ltd. NMT Capital (Pty) Limited, a company of
which Mr. Ntsaluba is a director and shareholder, holds a 26 per cent
interest in Goldplat Recovery (Pty) Limited.
Having initially qualified as a Chartered Accountant with Deloitte in
South Africa, Mr. Klingenberg has accrued significant commercial
experience, both within Southern Africa and at an international level.
His extensive knowledge spans audit management, financial management and
systems. Having initially worked within the telecommunications and
retail industries, Mr. Klingenberg joined Goldplat in 2015 as Group
Financial Manager. Within this role he has been integral in managing
Goldplat's financial affairs. With a proven knowledge and understanding
of the Company's gold operations, he brings a wealth of experience that
makes him best placed to occupy the role of Finance Director, as the
Company continues to deliver on its strategy of increasing productivity
and profitability.
Matthew Robinson, Goldplat's Non-Executive Chairman, said, "I am
delighted to welcome Sango and Werner to the Board. Their individual
experience both at the corporate and financial level will be invaluable
to our Company as we continue to deliver on our long-term growth
strategy of increasing gold productivity and profitability. With the
global expansion of our gold recovery operations well underway and our
strategy to increase processing capacity at our Kilimapesa Gold Mine
already showing value, I believe our Company is entering a new phase of
growth. I look forward to working with Sango and Werner, together with
the rest of our board, as we look to build sustainable growth and
generate meaningful value for our shareholders."
