Board changes announced
|
| | NR2009-8
Kalimantan Gold Corporation Limited (AIM: KLG:LSE and TSX Venture Exchange in Canada: KLG:TSX.V ), is pleased to announce the appointment of Peter Bojtos as non-executive Chairman of the Board following the resignation of Murray Clapham as Chairman and a director of the Company for personal reasons. The Company is also pleased to announce the appointment of Faldi Ismail who joins the Board as a non-executive director of the Company.
Peter Bojtos has been a director of KLG since August 2002 and holds directorships of a number of other junior mining companies. He is a mining executive with entrepreneurial, commercial and public company management skills, coupled with a background in all facets of the industry, from exploration and acquisitions through production, financing and investor relations. Mr Bojtos is a geologist and professional engineer with over 36 years of worldwide experience in the mining industry, including production experience in Indonesia.
Mr Ismail has extensive current experience of the coal sector in Kalimantan, Indonesia where KLG is active. Prior to this he has worked as a corporate consultant specialising in the restructure and recapitalisation of a wide range of ASX-listed companies. Mr Ismail is currently a director of several ASX-Listed companies (Kangaroo Resources Limited, Coventry Resources Limited and Cape Range Wireless Limited), and is also a director of Kalimantan Investment Corporation, a significant KLG shareholder. He will replace Mr Clapham on the audit committee and qualifies as a financial expert.
The Board would like to thank Mr Clapham for his contribution to the Company through his investor and industry contacts. During his period as Chairman, Mr Clapham provided strong moral support to the management team but will perhaps best be remembered for his belief and specific actions towards the goal of ensuring that mining benefits local people along with shareholders and other stakeholders; something which is now widely appreciated by investors and potential partners alike. Mr Clapham remains a major KLG shareholder in his own right.
About Kalimantan Gold
Kalimantan Gold is a junior exploration company listed on both the TSX Venture Exchange in Canada and on the London AIM market. The Company is active in Indonesia where it has three areas of interest: the Jelai epithermal gold prospect in East Kalimantan; coal opportunities, also in East Kalimantan and a Contract of Work in Central Kalimantan with multiple porphyry copper and gold prospects.
The Company's immediate focus is negotiating off-take agreements for its coal opportunities as these are nearest to producing cash flow. Indonesia is a major coal producer and coal is a leading energy source, producing 80% of electricity in both China and India.
