Ann: Vital Announces Board and Management Changes, page-45

Standard operational procedure - new members enter the board, then theres a clash of personalities, or disagreement about direction, and someone leaves either by their own will, or force. Theres no pont speculating as to why, because you never get told the real reason for the exit. Not today, not next month, or next year.

In the end, especially those of you who claim Atkins' Lynas experince is invaluable, have to make a decision about whether that experience translated to successes for VML or not. I personally have no opinion, but other near term REE producers like HAS and NTU have roughly similar charts , ie sideways. That is probably the direction for these share heavy stocks until they go to production and make money.

In the end, his move could be a negative or a positive, but we dont get told about the ins out and out of boardroom powerplays. All part of the game.

Remember to never to fall in love with a company, or a CEO/MD. They are all expendable.
