Martin Andersson, Executive Chairman of Chaarat, commented: "Warren brings decades of experience and success in the mining sector. I'm delighted to welcome him to our Board which now includes four independent Non-Executive Directors. With the strong track-record and experience of our management team and Board, we are well placed to achieve our goal of becoming a mid-tier gold producer. I, and the rest of the board, thank Martin for his significant contribution to Chaarat as a Non-Executive Director. We look forward to working with him in his new capacity as a Senior Advisor of Chaarat."
