Board Changes
Restructured Board for refocused strategy
The Directors of Australian Potash Limited (APC or the Company) (ASX: APC) advise the following Board
changes have taken effect at today’s date.
Dr Natalia Streltsova has resigned as a non-executive director, having joined the Board of APC in December
2021. Natalia was Chair of the Board of directors and an instrumental member of the sub-committees of the
Board.
Mr Rhett Brans has resigned as a non-executive director, having joined the Board of APC in May 2017. Rhett
assumed the role as Technical Director for the finalisation of the Definitive Feasibility Study and Front End
Engineering and Design programs for the development of the Lake Wells SOP project.
Managing Director and CEO, Matt Shackleton said: “Natalia’s and Rhett’s guidance and advice to me and
the broader APC team through their tenure with the Company was always appreciated and valuable. It was
a pleasure to work with them both. Their professionalism as directors and their deep experience and
technical insight proved valuable through the project study and early works programs at the LSOP.
“We are fortunate to have Mr Jonathan Fisher join the Board of APC as we position the Company for the next
phase of exploration. Jono brings to our team a depth of experience that ranges across various commodities,
debt and capital markets and stakeholder management. Currently the CEO of ASX listed Cauldron Energy,
Jono has been instrumental in the renaissance of the uranium sector. Both Cathy Moises and I welcome Jono
to our Board.”

capitalisation has grown five-fold. Jonathan’s deep corporate experience is reflected in his various other roles
including with PricewaterhouseCoopers, Rothschild (London) and Poynton & Partners, and as CFO for 5 years
