Management Changes and Timetable for Entitlements Issue

Apollo Minerals Limited (Apollo Minerals or Company) is pleased to advise that Mr Bradley Drabsch has joined the Company as a consultant to assist with the Company’s operations at the large scale, near surface Kroussou zinc-lead project (Kroussou Project) in western Gabon (refer to ASX Announcement of 3 September 2019).

 

Mr Drabsch is a geologist with over 20 years’ experience and has extensive, first-hand knowledge of the Kroussou Project. He was most recently the Managing Director at Trek Metals Limited, where he was responsible for identifying and securing the Kroussou Project and for validating its large scale, near surface zinc-lead potential.

 

The Company also advises that, Mr Hugo Schumann, Executive Director, will transition to a Non-Executive Director role from the end of September 2019. This follows Mr Schumann’s decision to leave the Company to pursue an employment opportunity at a technology-driven natural resources company in the USA.

 

The Board would like to thank Mr Schumann for his contribution to the Company where he was instrumental in attracting leading institutional investors onto the Company register, positively transforming stakeholder relations in France, progressing work programs at the Couflens Project, and assisting with the due diligence and acquisition of the Kroussou Project in Gabon. Mr Schumann will remain involved as a Non-Executive Director of the Company for the time being to oversee the commencement of activity at the Kroussou Project and to assist with the appeals process for the Couflens Project. Mr Schumann was also engaged under a consultancy agreement with Nat Res Consulting Ltd which will cease at the end of September 2019.

 

The Company advises that the employment agreement between Dr Michel Bonnemaison (Non-Executive Director) and the Company’s French subsidiary Variscan Mines SAS has been terminated for breach of company policy. He no longer holds executive positions on the Company’s local subsidiaries and the services contract with his company E-Mines was also terminated.

Other

As previously announced, the Company recently applied to the French Ministry of Labour to place its local operating subsidiary Mines du Salat into a state of “partial activity” as a result of the negative court ruling to cancel the PER Couflens (the Couflens exploration permit). This would allow the Company to maintain the employment of key members of staff while the appeal process against the court ruling was heard. The Ministry of Labour had previously rejected the Company’s application for partial activity. Following the Company’s appeal of this rejection, the French Ministry of Labour has now revised its decision and approved a state of “partial activity” for Mines du Salat.

 

Furthermore, the Company advises that, as a consequence of the cancellation of the Couflens PER, the Company will write down the exploration and evaluation assets to nil for the Couflens Project in its 30 June 2019 financial statements.
