JOHANNESBURG (miningweekly.com) – Aim-listed Goldplat is proposing the appointment of Matthew Robinson as its new nonexecutive chairperson to succeed Brian Moritz, who is stepping down.

Robinson’s appointment is subject to shareholder approval, with shareholders expected to meet for an annual general meeting on October 27.

Robinson is a high profile figure in the growth company arena, with more than 12 years’ experience in mining and resources. He spent the last 15 years of his career as finnCap and Panmure Gordon/Durlacher corporate FD.

During this time, Robinson was responsible for establishing finnCap and Panmure Gordon’s mining and resources investment businesses, in addition to his role as adviser to Aim and Official List companies on the LSE.  Moving to the nascent finnCap in 2006, Robinson was instrumental in its rapid growth.

“I would like to extend my sincere thanks to Brian, who is also stepping down as a director, for his many years of support, guidance and tireless efforts to grow the company, build revenue and expand Goldplat’s operational footprint across Africa.  He has been an important part of the team and his input has been highly instrumental in getting Goldplat to this stage in its evolution. I wish him the very best in all of his future endeavours,” commented CEO Gerard Kisbey-Green.

He added that he believed Robinson would be an “extremely valuable” addition to Goldplat’s board.

“During the course of his career, he has demonstrated his ability to advise and steward publicly listed companies towards achieving their growth objectives, in addition to working directly for a public company and navigating successful corporate transactions and equity fundraisings,” Kisbey-Green said.
