Mr Ma is in his fourth year as the Managing Director of TsingShan Holding Group Shanghai
International Trading Corp., Ltd (Tsingshan). Tsingshan is part of a very large private group of Chinese
companies and produced more than 10 million tons of crude stainless-steel in 2019, with revenues of
over 260 billion RMB and 80,000 employees. It has ranked among the Top 500 of China's Private
Enterprises in 2002, Top 500 of China's Enterprises in 2010 and Fortune 500 in 2019.
Mr Ma has had a distinguished career, assuming his current role after a 20 year career with the world’s

the CEO of Baosteel India.

Mr Ma is also a shareholder in AustSino, having invested $1.75 million in the Company in May 2019.
The Company’s Chairman, Mr Ding, commented:
“It is a very powerful vote of confidence in AustSino and our strategy to develop a world class
resources company operating in Central Africa that a business leader of Mr Ma’s profile and
expertise has joined our Board. Tsingshan is the world’s number one stainless steel producer
and is an important member of the world class consortium of Tier One project partner companies
that will enable us to deliver our plans in Africa.”
Also, the Company regrets to advise that Phil McKeiver has resigned from the Board of the Company
