Extension of Audit Partner Tenure

 

The Board of Bluebird Mining Ventures Limited (LSE: BMV), the gold streaming
and treasury company,  announces that, following a recommendation from the
Audit Committee, it has approved the extension of the tenure of Joseph Archer,
partner at PKF Littlejohn LLP, as audit partner for the Company for a sixth
year.

 

PKF Littlejohn LLP was appointed as auditor to the Company in 2020 and has
been reappointed at each Annual General Meeting since. PKF is responsible for
issuing the audit report on the Company's financial statements.

 

The extension of Joseph Archer's tenure is considered important to maintaining
audit quality in light of the significant changes undertaken by the Company in
recent periods, including an acquisition and a strategic shift in the focus of
the business. His detailed knowledge of the Group and its key audit areas is
regarded as critical to ensuring continuity and effective audit oversight
during this period of transition.

 

During the year ended 31 December 2025, the Audit Committee considered the
Financial Reporting Council Revised Ethical Standard 2019, which permits
limited flexibility in the rotation of the Audit Engagement Partner where
necessary to safeguard audit quality. Under these provisions, the Audit
Engagement Partner may remain in role for up to seven years in total.

 

The Audit Committee concluded that an extension was appropriate to support
audit quality given:

·    the Company's ongoing strategic transformation, including changes to
its structure and areas of focus;

·    significant changes to the Board and management team; and

·    the value of Joseph Archer's experience and understanding of the
Company's commercial and accounting matters in delivering the audit for the
year ending 31 December 2025.

 

The Board is pleased that Joseph Archer has agreed to continue in his role for
the current year's audit. PKF Littlejohn LLP will implement appropriate
safeguards, including enhanced independent partner review procedures. A new
Audit Engagement Partner is expected to be appointed for the 2026 audit.

 

The Board confirms that this extension complies with applicable regulatory
requirements and guidance, including the Financial Reporting Council's
Guidance on Audit Committees. The process to appoint a new audit partner will
be undertaken in due course.
