Boardroom Shaping up Nicely - Preparing for the Big Time

I like to keep my feet on the ground but a little positive speculation wouldn't harm sentiment

Speculating but following the announcement in last nights RNS that Mr Sultan Al-Ghaithi, current CEO of Arla Petroloeum LLC, will become a Non-Executive Director of the Company with immediate effect!  As chairman Brian Hall has outlined more appointments, could the next board member come from io_oilandgas, GE_Africa Baker Hughes or McDermott where there is now an established collaboration?  Personally, I think any senior appointment from any of  those would be music to the ears of Aminex share holders.

AEX Chairman Brian Hall

"During the course of the last year, we have considerably expanded our management and technical team and, in addition to today's announcement, we expect to make further Board appointments of independent non-executive directors in the near future."
