The Board unanimously felt that Marc is ideally suited to continue the disciplined and ambitious growth path focussed on commodities that support a more sustainable world. The Board congratulates Marc on his appointment. The Board also wishes to express its thanks and appreciation to Julian Treger who has led the group for just over eight years and has been instrumental in transitioning the business away from coal and towards 21st century commodities. We will miss Julian, his astute investment judgement, wisdom and experience, and wish him well as he pursues new ventures.'

Marc Bishop Lafleche said of his appointment: 'I am honoured that the Board has given me the opportunity to lead Anglo Pacific. I am proud of the portfolio the Company has built over the past eight years, and I look forward to working with the Board as we continue to build a diversified exposure to a basket of commodities required to achieve the decarbonisation of energy consumption and the achievement of global climate change objectives. We will continue our disciplined approach to acquiring value accretive royalties and streams as well as focus on sustainability as we execute our stated strategy.
