Leigh Curyer Appointed to the International Consolidated Uranium Advisory Board and John Jentz Appointed to the Board of Directors
Leigh Curyer commented “Todays changes reflect the next step in the planned progression of International Consolidated Uranium. Trevor and myself have overseen the transition of the Company into a leading consolidator of uranium projects globally and, now that it is firmly on that path, it’s time for the new board to oversee the business going forward. This coincides with NexGen moving through final feasibility and permitting in developing the world’s largest uranium project. I look forward to providing advice to the Company from my new role as a member of the Advisory Board.”
Philip Williams, CEO commented “On behalf of all shareholders, I would like to thank both Leigh and Trevor for their dedication and contribution over the past years. Both were instrumental in the formation of the Company and were champions of the new business model, providing tremendous vision and tireless effort during the transition process. As a leading expert in the uranium sector, ensuring Leigh’s continued involvement through his membership on the Advisory Board is incredibly valuable and important to the Company. Further, I would like welcome John to the Board. John brings decades of financial and mining experience, including as a director of North American Palladium where he oversaw its successful sale to Impala Platinum.”
