Carlton Resources Plc 
("Carlton" or the "Company") 
 
 
Directorate Changes and change of name of Nominated Adviser 
 
 
The Directors of Carlton (AIM:CLN) are pleased to announce the appointment of 
Mark Burchnall, an existing non-executive director of the Company, as Chief 
Executive Officer and Melissa Sturgess as Non-executive Chairman, with immediate 
effect. 
 
 
After practicing as a corporate and mining solicitor for over 8 years with a 
number of prominent Australian law firms (during which time he provided advice 
to a number of Australian and internationally listed clients, primarily with a 
natural resources focus and in areas including capital raising, asset and share 
sales and acquisitions), Mr Burchnall left the legal profession in 2006 and has 
since held the role of Manager - Strategic Development with Nyota Minerals 
Limited and (formerly) with Sylvania Resources Limited. He is a past director of 
Bezant Resources Plc (listed on AIM) and past Managing Director of Washington 
Resources Limited (listed on ASX).The Directors believe that Mark's appointment 
to the position of Chief Executive will significantly strengthen the Company's 
ability to execute its future strategic plans. 
 
 
Ms Sturgess was a founding director of Sylvania Resources Limited (ASX, AIM: 
SLV) and brought Churchill Mining Plc to the London market (AIM: CHL).  She 
holds a BSc and an MBA from the University of Western Australia and commenced 
her career with British Airways and Australian law firm Mallesons Stephen Jaques 
before commencing a consulting role with Aquarius Platinum Limited (ASX, LSE: 
AQP) and moving full time into the corporate development of resources companies. 
 Ms Sturgess is currently the Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of Nyota 
Minerals Limited (ASX, AIM: NYO). 
 
 
Simultaneous with the appointment of Mr Burchnall and Ms Sturgess, the Company's 
existing Chief Executive, Martyn Churchouse, has stepped down from that role to 
assume the role of non-executive director (technical) with immediate effect. The 
Company will continue to benefit from Mr Churchouse's significant experience and 
expertise in the natural resource sector as it seeks to fulfil its future 
strategic plans. 
 
 
The Company also announces that Strand Partners Limited, the Company's Nominated 
Adviser, has changed its name to Strand Hanson Limited with immediate effect.
