AUSTRALIAN RARE EARTHS LIMITED Australian Rare Earths Limited announced that Professor Dudley Kingsnorth OAM has signalled his intention to retire as a Non-Executive Director of the Company, effective 31 January 2024. Dudley joined the Board in 2021 as AR3's inaugural Chairman, a position he held until the last AGM in November 2023. Dudley's services to mining and to the community have been recognised in the 2024 Australia Day Honours list, in which he was awarded the Medal of the Order of Australia (OAM).
Retirement from the AR3 Board will enable Dudley to devote more time to his charitable community interests, in particular the Alice Kingsnorth International Scholarship, which supports overseas travel by front-line employees of AnglicareWA to gain experience and exchange solutions to pressing social issues. Since the Company's inception, Dudley has shared his significant rare earth industry knowledge and made important strategic introductions across the international rare earth industry, to ensure the Board and management team of AR3 are well placed for continued success.
