ANNOUNCEMENT 11 March 2022
RESIGNATION OF NON-EXECUTIVE CHAIRMAN
MC Mining Limited (MC Mining or the Company) announces that Mr Bernard Pryor will step down as
Chairman of the Board, effective 5pm Western Australian Standard Time, Friday 11 March 2022. Long
standing non-executive director Mr Khomotso Mosehla has been appointed as interim Chairman
pending the outcome of the shareholder requisitioned meeting scheduled for 11 April 2022.
Mr Pryor joined the Company during August 2012, initially serving as a Non-Executive Director and
then as Chairman from February 2014.
At the time of his initial appointment, MC Mining was in a precarious financial positon having
significant debt and operating several loss making coal mines. The Company is now on more stable
footing having secured a large coal resource base, substantially reduced debt and with the recently
announced South African Rand 86 million capital raising agreement with Senosi Group Investment
Holdings Proprietary Limited (SGIH).
Mr Pryor said: “I am leaving the Board of MC Mining at a hugely positive time for the Company. The
recent investment by SGIH, and in particular the coal experience and skills they bring to the Company,
alongside completing the land acquisition for the Makhado project at a time of strong coal prices, the
Company is well placed to finalise the Makhado financing and set along a path to generate value for
all stakeholders. This has been long overdue but there have been numerous hurdles to overcome to
reach this point. Also as a shareholder myself, I wish the company all success in the future.”
Newly appointed interim Chairman, Mr Khomotso Mosehla said: “The MC Mining board expressed
their sincere appreciation to Mr Pryor for his role in helping to steer the company through some
turbulent periods and wish him every success in his future endeavors.”
This announcement has been approved by the Company’s Disclosure Committee.
This announcement is inside information for the purposes of Article 7 of Regulation 596/2014.
