Board Director Appointments and Farewells

Following the Gold Industry Group’s recent Annual General Meeting, we are pleased to share an update on our Board leadership and to acknowledge the contributions of Directors who have concluded their service.

We are delighted to welcome Nicola Thomson and Anthony Rechichi to the Gold Industry Group Board.

Nicola Thomson

Nicola Thomson is Vice President, People and Capability at AngloGold Ashanti Australia.

With more than 25 years’ experience across human resources, employee relations, organisational capability, wellbeing and inclusion, Nicola brings a strong people-centred lens to the Board. She holds a Master of Industrial Relations from the University of Western Australia and a Bachelor of Commerce (Human Resources and Industrial Relations) from Curtin University. In her current role, Nicola works closely with both Australian and global leadership teams to shape people strategy and create workplaces where individuals feel respected, connected and empowered. Nicola is passionate about inspiring the next generation and showcasing the diverse and rewarding career opportunities available within the gold industry.

Anthony Rechichi

We also welcome Anthony Rechichi, Chief Financial Officer of Regis Resources Ltd.

Anthony is a Fellow of Chartered Accountants Australia and New Zealand and brings more than two decades of experience working with ASX-listed gold producers. Prior to joining Regis, he held senior finance roles at Wiluna Mining and Resolute Mining, and earlier in his career worked in PwC’s Assurance practice.

Anthony has shared that his focus on the Board will be supporting an industry that remains investable, capable of sustaining skilled employment, and socially sustainable over the long term, underpinned by strong standards and value creation.

Farewells

Alongside these appointments, we farewell two valued Directors.

We extend our sincere thanks to Andrea Maxey, Vice President, Investor Relations, Communication and ESG at AngloGold Ashanti Australia, who has concluded seven years of dedicated service on the Board. Andrea has been a steadfast advocate for the Gold Industry Group and a passionate supporter of our community and education programs. Her leadership, global perspective and commitment have left a lasting legacy, and we are grateful for her significant contribution.

We also acknowledge Julie Jones, who joined the Board in 2023 while serving as General Counsel and Joint Company Secretary of Gold Road Resources. During her tenure, Julie brought expertise in mining law, governance and strategic risk, and was a strong advocate for education, inclusion and creating pathways for women and young people within the gold industry. We thank Julie for her insights and commitment during her time on the Board.
