Nyrstar announced an organizational restructure creating three distinct business segments: Mining, Metals Processing and Marketing, Sourcing & Sales, ensuring that the organizational structure is better aligned with the company's growing metals and mining business.

The restructure results in an increased management committee, from five to seven people. In addition to the company's Chief Executive Officer, Roland Junck, the new management committee will comprise: Heinz Eigner, Chief Financial Officer, will continue his financial stewardship of the company and will continue to be responsible for business systems, whilst also assuming responsibility for group procurement and business execution. Michael Morley, Chief Corporate and Development Officer, will continue to be responsible for strategy, mergers and acquisitions, business integration, investor relations and communications, legal and company secretariat, whilst also assuming responsibility for the Port Pirie redevelopment and strategic business excellence. Graham Buttenshaw, Senior Vice President, Mining, currently Group General Manager, Mining - Latin America, will assume responsibility for leading the Company's global mining operations. Mr. Buttenshaw has over 30 years' experience in the global mining industry working in countries such as Australia, Peru and Ghana in a number of senior roles with global mining houses such as BHP Billiton and global mining contractors such as Redpath. Bob Katsiouleris, Senior Vice President, Marketing, Sourcing and Sales, currently Group General Manager, Commercial Operations, will lead the Company's raw materials strategy, marketing and sales of finished products and trading. Prior to joining Nyrstar in January 2013, Mr. Katsiouleris was the Chief Commercial Officer for Rio Tinto Minerals and brings more than 20 years of experience in industrial minerals and metals sales, marketing, operations, processing, finance and purchasing. Russell Murphy, Chief Human Resources, Safety and Environment Officer, will continue lead the Company's human resources, safety and environment functions, whilst also assuming responsibility for the Company's quality assurance functions. Mr. Morley will also act as Senior Vice President, Metals Processing, assuming responsibility for the company's global metals processing operations, on an interim basis, pending an appointment following a global recruitment program. As a consequence of the restructure Greg McMillan, Chief Operating Officer, will leave the company. He will remain in an advisory role to the management committee for the next three months to ensure an orderly transition to the new structure.
