While Mr. Gannicott is undergoing treatment, current lead director and long standing board member Dan Jarvis will assume the role of Acting Chairman and will be supported in this role by Audit Committee Chairman Ollie Oliveira who has extensive experience in the diamond mining industry. During this period, Brendan Bell, currently Executive Vice President, will assume the role of Acting Chief Executive.
