Scotgold Resources Limited

("Scotgold" or "the Company")

Appointment of Executive Chairman

 

 

John Bentley, who has been Non-Executive Chairman of the Company since February 2009, has been appointed Executive Chairman.

This change reflects the development of the Company in light of the recent granting of planning permission on the Cononish gold and silver project, with which Mr Bentley was heavily involved.

John Bentley commented:

"My colleagues on the Board felt it sensible that I take on executive status at this juncture: complex project planning and funding decisions will need to be taken over the next few months and it is crucial that the management team is developed to reflect the changing requirements of the Company."

Mr Bentley, who holds a degree in Metallurgy, has over 40 years of experience in the natural resources sector and currently serves as a non-executive on the board of a number of resource companies, including Faroe Petroleum.
