Berkeley Energia is pleased to announce the appointment of Mr Sean Wade as Chief Commercial Officer of the Company, where he will be responsible for identifying and leading strategic business development opportunities for the Company.

He managed a wide-ranging communications portfolio involving a broad array of different stakeholders.

Prior to TBC Bank, Mr Wade was Head of Investor Relations and Group Communications at Asia Resource Minerals and part of the team that managed the separation transaction and subsequent sale of the business, allowing shareholders a clean exit in a challenging environment for thermal coal.

"I am delighted to welcome Sean to Berkeley Energia. His broad experience in communications, branding and capital markets will be a vital addition to the team as we complete detailed reviews at the Salamanca mine to ensure that optimal capital and operating costs are achieved prior to full construction commencing.

He joins at a crucial point in our journey and we look forward to the contribution that I am confident he will make."
