Boss Energy Limited (ASX: BOE; OTCQX: BQSSF) is pleased to advise that Andre Potgieter has been appointed as Chief Financial Officer, effective today.

Mr Potgieter is a highly experienced finance professional with more than 25 years' involvement in mining operations and construction projects, including both EPCM-executed and self-perform projects. He has held senior roles in the mining industry with leading global companies such as First Quantum Minerals Ltd (FQM) and Freeport-McMoRan Inc.

In these positions, he has managed multi-billion-dollar budgets while providing financial guidance and support from initial feasibility through to capital reviews, mobilisation, construction, commissioning, and project close out. Mr Potgieter held the role of Cost Control Manager for FQM's Cobre Panama Project where he led the entire cost control effort for the project and associated operations, which had a Project Construction budget of US$6.7 billion. Most recently, Mr Potgieter had been FQM's Business Development Manager, identifying and analysing all new investment opportunities and making appropriate recommendations.

This role encompassed extensive due diligence processes, including the co-ordination of technical and commercial information to support sales and potential acquisitions, engaging with prospective counter-parties, negotiating and executing transactions, improving business development processes and streamlining the flow of information between the corporate offices in different international jurisdictions. Mr Potgieter holds a Master of Science (Mineral and Energy Economics) from Curtin University and a Master of Business Administration (MBA) from Curtin University and is a member of CPA Australia.

He replaces Mathew O'Hara, who has served as Chief Financial Officer and Company Secretary for the past three years. Mr O'Hara will remain as Company Secretary. To further enable Boss' progression towards production, the Company is also pleased to advise that it has recently appointed key members to its Adelaide-based operational team, including a Human Resources Manager and a Safety, Health, Environment and Radiation (SHER) Superintendent. Both are seasoned resources sector professionals with significant experience supporting construction and mining activities in their respective areas. In addition, Boss has recruited another Senior Manager Geologist and a Hydrogeologist, both of whom are both very experienced with in-situ recovery (ISR) uranium mining. Boss has been successful in recruiting the Operational and Project teams based on well-referenced existing networks, forgoing the need for market-based recruiting.

We believe the appointment of these key staff at this point will provide invaluable support to our technical and project staff in safely and sustainably ramping up our workforce towards production. Boss Managing Director Duncan Craib, said: 'Boss is delighted to have attracted someone of Andre's calibre to the role of CFO at such a pivotal phase for the Company. His experience in project management and cost control, particularly through the construction phase, will be invaluable as Boss continues its course to become Australia's next uranium producer, with first production scheduled for Q4, 2023.'
