Board Change

Sovereign Mines of Africa today announces a change to the Board's composition as it repositions itself strategically, reflecting its expected transaction within the Indian consumer goods sector.

In recognition of this, Rupert Fraser will step down from his role as non-executive Director. However, he will remain involved with the Company in his capacity as a valued shareholder. The Board will continue to review its composition to ensure its experience reflects that needed for the new listed company.

Giles Clarke, Chairman of Sovereign Mines of Africa commented:

"Rupert has been instrumental in steering the Company in this period of extreme change. I would like to take this opportunity to thank him for his contribution to the Company and look forward to continuing our relationship through his involvement as an important shareholder of SMA."
