Legend Mining Ltd (ASX:LEG) has selected managing director Mark Wilson to fill the role of executive chair of the board following the retirement of Michael Atkins, who served the company for 20 years.
The board reshuffle will take effect from May 5, at which point the current executive director Oliver Kiddie will step into the managing director role that Wilson will have vacated.
Leaving behind a robust technical board
“I have decided that, after 20 years, the conclusion of the upcoming AGM is an appropriate time to retire as chairman of Legend,” Outgoing chair Michael Atkins said.
“I feel very confident I leave Legend with strong corporate and technical management and a strong board.
“I look forward to the future of Legend as a major player in the ongoing quest to find more nickel deposits in the Fraser Range.”
Despite the change in role for Wilson and Kiddie, their respective renumeration and employment conditions remain unchanged.
“On behalf of shareholders and personally, I would like to sincerely thank Michael for his service as chair of our board,” managing director and incoming chair Mark Wilson said.
“His contribution as a sounding board for me, his direct assistance in several key matters and sage advice to the board on the full gambit of regulatory and governance matters has been outstanding.
“The whole Legend team wishes him all the best for the future.”
