Talisman Mining Ltd (ASX: TLM) advises that Mr Gary Lethridge has resigned as the
Company’s Managing Director.
Mr Lethridge advised the Board he believed it was the right time to step down given
Talisman’s strong financial position, the significant recent progress at the Monty
copper-gold discovery and his desire to spend more time with his family.
Mr Lethridge said: “With Talisman now well-funded to meet its Springfield
commitments, the maiden Monty resource imminent and exploration activities
continuing to gather momentum at Doolgunna, Talisman is in a strong position to
realise its objective of becoming a successful mid-tier mining company.
“I would like to thank the Board and management team for their support over the past
seven years and wish them and the Company well for the future.”

The Company’s Chief Financial Officer, Mr Dan Madden, has been appointed as
acting CEO while the Board commences an executive search process. Mr Madden,
who has been with Talisman since 2009, has more than 15 years’ experience in the
resource sector, including as Financial Controller for Jubilee Mines and General
Manager – Finance for Xstrata Nickel Australasia.
In light of Mr Lethridge’s departure, the Talisman Board has made the decision to
appoint highly experienced corporate executive and former investment banker, Mr
Jeremy Kirkwood, to the board as non-executive Chairman.
He replaces Mr Alan Senior, who has agreed to step down as Chairman and will
remain on the Board as a non-executive Director.
Mr Kirkwood – who has extensive experience in corporate strategy, investment
banking and global capital markets – will provide invaluable strategic input and
guidance to the Company’s board and management team.
A highly respected corporate advisor, Mr Kirkwood has been a principal with Pilot
Advisory Group and was previously a Managing Director at Credit Suisse, Morgan
Stanley and Austock. He has primarily worked in public markets, undertaking merger
and acquisitions and capital raisings for companies principally in the metals and
mining, energy and infrastructure sectors.
He has been a Director of companies in the not-for-profit sector and is currently Chair
of Geelong Grammar School and Independent Schools Victoria.
Mr Kirkwood said: “I look forward to working with the Talisman team and all of our
stakeholders to lead the Company as it embarks on its next phase of growth. With a
strong balance sheet and outstanding asset base including the Springfield Joint
Venture with Sandfire and the wholly owned Sinclair Nickel Project, Talisman has all
the ingredients to become a highly successful mid-tier mining company.”
