"Company") (AIM: NCCL) is pleased to announce the appointment of Mr
Christiaan Schutte as the Company's interim Chief Operating Officer
("COO") and the appointment of Pimlico Advisory Ltd to provide
Investor Relations services to the Company.
Chris Schutte's main responsibility will be to lead the
technical process on the integrated Ncondezi 300MW coal fired power
project and coal mine in Tete, Mozambique (the "Project"). This
includes management of the Engineering Procurement and Construction
("EPC") and Operations and Management ("O&M") processes with
the Company's strategic partners, which is due to be completed at
the end of Q4 2019. Interim Chief Operating Office is a non-board
position and Chris Schutte will not be a director of the
Company.
Chris Schutte has considerable knowledge of the business having
been a Non-Executive Director of Ncondezi from February 2013.
During 2013 and 2014, Chris led the Company's power plant EPC and
O&M processes. He was appointed COO of Ncondezi in March 2015
and took over the day to day project development in May 2015 when
CEO Paul Venter stood down. Mr Schutte resigned as COO and from the
Board in September 2018 when he was invited by Eskom Holdings SOC
Ltd ("Eskom"), the largest power generator in Sub Saharan Africa,
to join the Generation Group to support the daily production and
scheduling of Eskom's power generation fleet. He supported Eskom's
Generation Executive team on technical and production issues and
was a key member of the team that put together Eskom's generation
recovery plan. He interacted with the government appointed
Ministerial Task Team in analysing current generation challenges.
He left Eskom to pursue private consulting opportunities at the end
of May 2019.
Prior to joining Ncondezi in 2013, Mr Schutte was a Senior
General Manager in the Technology Group, responsible for all
engineering functions at Eskom, including design accountability for
new power stations, transmission lines and distribution
development. Prior to this he was Senior General Manager of Eskom's
Generation Division, managing five coal fired power stations with
over 18,000 MW total installed capacity (60 times the size of the
Ncondezi Project). He holds a degree in mechanical engineering and
a Master's degree in business leadership.
In addition, the Company has appointed Pimlico Advisory Ltd to
strengthen the Company's investor relations platform. Pimlico
Advisory Ltd is a bespoke investor relations and corporate
development consultancy founded by Elizabeth Johnson in September
2018. Elizabeth has over 12 years capital markets experience
advising both private and publicly listed companies. She has
considerable knowledge of the Company having acted for Ncondezi
when she was a Corporate Broking Director at FinnCap. Prior to
founding Pimlico Advisory she was a Director at SP Angel.
Ncondezi Chief Executive Officer, Hanno Pengilly said: "Chris's
appointment as COO comes at an important time as the Company seeks
to reinforce its in house technical expertise and ramp up its
Project development programme with its strategic partners. Chris is
uniquely positioned to drive key technical processes with his
in-depth knowledge of the Project and experience operating some of
the largest coal fired power plants on the continent. Chris' recent
work at Eskom underlines the high regard in which his power
generation expertise is held by Africa's largest power utility.
This is a critical appointment to achieve the best results from the
EPC and O&M bid process, allowing for the delivery of a
competitive tariff to EDM.
We are also pleased to announce the appointment of Pimlico
Advisory to assist with our investor relations ahead of what will
be a very active 12 months for the Company as we continue to unlock
the value of our Project."
