Board Changes

North River, the AIM quoted resource company focused on the Namib Lead-Zinc Mine in Namibia, announces the following changes to the Board:

Ms Ding Chan (Tina) (aged 28) has been appointed to the Board as Non-executive Director. She will represent the interests of China General Nuclear Power Company's (CGNPC), a 13.9 per cent shareholder in North River, replacing Non-executive Chairman Mr. Zuayuan He who has resigned from the Board with immediate effect. Tina has a Masters degree in Law and gained investment banking experience in Beijing and Singapore before joining CGNPC as Mining Investment Manager in 2014.

Senior Independent Director Brett Richards said, "On behalf of the other members of the Board, we would like to thank Mr. He for his counsel and support during his two year tenure on the Board, and at the same time welcome Tina to the North River Board of Directors. We very much look forward to her playing an active role on the Board, as the Company moves towards construction of its first project, the Namib Lead-Zinc Mine in Namibia."

China is both the largest market globally for the future zinc and lead products from Namib, and a major construction base for mining plant and equipment. The Board places significant value on having a major Chinese SOE such as CGNPC as strategic investor in North River. CGNPC is also a major investor in Namibia through its large Husab uranium project.

The Company has mandated its NOMAD, Strand Hanson, to co-ordinate the search and selection process for a replacement independent Chairman. Brett Richards will assume the role of interim Chairman in the intervening period.

There are no further matters to be disclosed under schedule 2 paragraph g of the AIM Rules.
