SUBIACO, January 14, 2019 - The Board of RTG Mining Inc. ("RTG", the "Company") (TSX:RTG, ASX:RTG, OTCQB:RTGGF) is pleased to provide an update on the recent Annual General Meeting ("AGM") of the Special Mining Lease Osikaiyang Landowners Association ("SMLOLA"). Given the 3-year term of the Board was up for renewal, a new election was held for all officers and Board members, with the addition of more members to ensure they have a broader representation of their constituents. The previous leadership team were re-elected unanimously, demonstrating strong support for the significant progress and unity achieved. The meeting also reaffirmed their support for RTG as their preferred development partner. The elections were strongly supported with over 2,200 members attending in person or by proxy, unanimously supporting the re-election of the nominated Board members, including Mr Philip Miriori as the Chairman of the SMLOLA.
RTG would like to thank the SMLOLA and its members for their continued support and looks forward to working with them to continue our efforts in winning the support of the Autonomous Bougainville Government to progress a redevelopment of Panguna for the benefit of all Bougainvilleans, whilst at the same time supporting the Independence Campaign for Bougainville.
