Board Change
URU Metals Limited, (AIM:URU), the base metals and uranium explorer and development Company, announces that Roger Lemaitre, Chief Executive Officer, has resigned and will be leaving the Company on January 10, 2014. Mr. Lemaitre is resigning at this time in order to pursue a career opportunity with another company.
Mr. Lemaitre's resignation will occur after the closing of the due diligence period associated with URU's purchase of the remaining 26% interest in the Zebediela Nickel Project from Umnex Mineral Holdings Limited (see the RNS announcement of 11 December 2013).
David Subotic, Chairman of URU Metals commented:
"The Board would like to thank Roger for his considerable contribution in the positioning of URU Metals for long-term success in an extremely difficult mining climate for junior exploration companies. We wish him all the very best for the future."
The Board has commenced a search for Mr. Lemaitre's replacement, and will report back to shareholders once a successor has been found.
