Ann: Appointment of Chief Executive Officer, page-31

I have recently met our new CEO Jess Maddren & MD Tony Cormack and can confirm CR9 are very fortunate to have both these individuals in the company, Jess particularly as we move into the next phase of our project.

Tony by his own admission is an exploration geologist which is why we find ourselves in the position we do now, with undisputedly Australia’s best known ultra bright kaolin deposit. He is hanging around and remains the MD so no loss of knowledge or risk here.

Jess herself is a geologist and her passion is to challenge the status quo, optimise processes and generate the greatest value for shareholders.

Jess has recently worked with Schneider Electric and Origin Energy and based on her penchant for innovation I would not be surprised if CR9 has one of the most innovative mining, processing workflow and energy generation going around.

Super passionate and driven to succeed, I am very much looking forward to the next 12 months as we start cranking through the gears.
