                                                                  27 April 2023 
 
                                 BWA Group PLC 
 
                          ("BWA" or the "Company") 
 
                                 Board Changes 
 
BWA (AQSE: BWAP), which has mineral exploration licences in 
both Cameroon and Canada at various stages of development and is quoted on 
London's AQSE Growth Market, announces the resignation of Alex Borrelli from 
the board of directors of the Company (the "Board") in order to focus on his 
other business activities. 
 
The Company is seeking the appointment of two new experienced Board members to 
assist with the progress of the Company's assets: John Byfield and Jonathan 
Wearing.  Both appointments are subject to the normal procedures for an AQSE 
quoted issuer and updates on their appointments will be provided as matters 
progress. 
 
John Byfield qualified as a solicitor in 1978, forming his own practice in 
Southampton in 1980.  This practice focussed on sports law and commercial 
elements around sport, in particular Formula 1 motor racing.  After merging 
with a larger regional firm, Mr Byfield retired from private practice and 
founded a sports management business, Essentially Group, of which he was 
Executive Chairman, and which was admitted to trading on AIM in 2006, before 
being sold to Chime Communications in 2010. 
 
Jonathan Wearing started his career with CitiBank in London in the 1970s, 
progressing through both the commercial and investment banking units, finishing 
as a mergers and acquisitions specialist. 
 
Mr Wearing was formerly the Chairman of AIM-traded Ideagen plc, the software 
company taken private by Hg Capital in July 2022 and, separately, Chairman of 
AQSE quoted Sativa Group plc. Independently, for the last two decades Mr 
Wearing has built his own consultancy and investment business. 
 
Both Mr Byfield and Mr Wearing are shareholders in the Company. 
 
The Directors of BWA are responsible for the contents of this announcement. 
 
                                    Ends -
