Goldplat, the AIM listed gold producer, with international gold recovery operations located in South Africa and Ghana, announces that Gerard Kemp, non-executive Chairman, and Sango Ntsaluba, non-executive Director, have informed Goldplat of their intention not to stand for re-election at the next AGM which is due to take place before the end of the year.

Following discussion with the Board, it was agreed that both Gerard Kemp and Sango Ntsaluba will step down from their roles today while we start to look for a suitable replacement for both and a further announcement will be made in due course. In the interim, Gerard Kisbey-Green, who is a longstanding member of the board, will assume the role of acting Chairman.

Sango Ntsaluba will remain involved with the Group through his company's shareholding in the South African Subsidiary, Goldplat Recovery (Pty) Ltd and as chairman of the board of Goldplat Recovery (Pty) Ltd.

Werner Klingenberg, CEO of Goldplat commented: "Both Gerard and Sango have been invaluable as Chairman and members of the board where they have assisted the business through their industry and corporate experience and through their network in the markets in which we operate. I want to thank Gerard for his time and effort and his focus on assisting the business as well as for his management of the board. I want to thank Sango for his seven years of service as a board member and for the years of board experience and balance he brought to the table. I am looking forward to his continued support at a subsidiary level."
