Quinton van der Burgh brings significant experience & expertise in the
international mining sector

 

Neo Energy Metals plc, the near term, low-cost uranium developer, is pleased
to announce a strengthening of its board with the appointment of Quinton van
der Burgh as a Non-Executive Director, effective immediately.

 

Mr van der Burgh is a leading mining serial entrepreneur in South Africa. He
is founder and CEO of Q Global Commodities ('QGC'), one of South Africa's
largest privately owned mining houses that has established more than 45 mines
throughout Sub-Saharan Africa from greenfield status through to production and
exports of materials to the global commodity markets.  QGC is actively
expanding its metal mining interests throughout Southern and East Africa
through direct equity investments and partnership and co-development
agreements with a number of emerging mining and exploration companies
including Neo Energy in which it is a cornerstone investor.

 

Furthermore, through his foundation, QVDBF, and in association with and
ownership in Generosity Water, Mr van der Burgh has provide communities and
schools throughout Southern Africa with access to safe and clean drinking
water; to date, this ongoing initiative has helped over 415,000 South Africa's
exercise their human right to water. Other projects the foundation supports
include addressing the skill gap in underprivileged communities and assisting
selected applicants with the support they need to rebuild their lives, from
settling credit card debt, to paying for operations or schooling.

 

Neo Energy CEO Sean Heathcote said, "We are delighted to welcome Quinton to
the team as a Non-Executive Director at this critical juncture as we look to
accelerate our strategy to become an important supplier to the fast-growing
uranium sector. We are fortunate to have found someone of his calibre with
years of operational experience, sector knowledge, and extensive network and
are grateful for the support his company, QGC, has provided Neo Energy as a
cornerstone investor.

 

"While arguably, Quinton has generated significant goodwill from his business
endeavours, he has also positively impacted many African lives through his
work with his foundation, QVDBF; these sustainable values resonate with the
rest of the team at Neo Energy as we aim to deliver value to all stakeholders.

 

"Having set ambitious targets focused on advancing our low-cost uranium
project in South Africa, Henkries, towards a 2-year production plan, we
eagerly anticipate sharing regular updates on the company's progress over the
coming months."

 

Quinton van der Burgh said, "I am looking forward to helping shape the future
of Neo Energy, working with its team to take advantage of the strong uranium
market as it moves Henkries towards production, and explore other exciting
opportunities that align with our commitment to contribute to and support the
global de-carbonisation drive."
