Westgold Resources Limited announced the retirement of Mr Gary Davison and Mr Julius Matthys from its Board of Directors, effective June 30, 2026. The decision aligns with the Board's strategy to right-size its structure following the merger and integration with Karora Resources Inc. in 2024. Following these departures, Westgold will maintain a six-member Board to steer the company through its next phase of growth.

Mr Davison joined the Board in 2021 and contributed significantly to the company's mine design and planning capabilities. He is credited with mentoring the technical team and providing a pragmatic approach to technical and corporate opportunities. Mr Matthys, who joined in 2022, brought expertise in safety, sustainability, and governance, supporting Westgold's evolution into an ASX100 company.

Board Composition and Strategy

The retirements are a direct outcome of the Board's review post-merger. The company stated that the right-sizing ensures operational efficiency while retaining strong governance. The remaining six directors are expected to leverage their experience to sustain the company's production and growth trajectory.

Operational Context

Westgold Resources Limited operates as a leading Australian gold producer with four mining hubs. The combined processing capacity is approximately 6Mtpa across the Murchison and Southern Goldfields regions in Western Australia. The company focuses on safe, responsible, and profitable production to deliver value to stakeholders.

The Board expressed sincere appreciation for the dedication and leadership of both directors. Westgold continues to operate under the authorization of its Board for release to the ASX.
