ASX Announcement 6 May 2015
CHERYL EDWARDES APPOINTED TO THE ATLAS BOARD
Atlas Iron (ASX: AGO) is pleased to advise that Hon. Cheryl Edwardes has been appointed as a Non-executive
Director effective today.
Mrs Edwardes is a fully qualified lawyer and held several senior portfolios during her distinguished career as a WA Member of Parliament. These included Attorney-General, Minister for the Environment and Minister for Labour Relations. She is currently Chairman of ASX-listed Vimy Resources Limited.
Mrs Edwardes' appointment means Atlas has two females on its six-member Board. Sook Yee Tai has been an Atlas director since June 2010 and Kerry Sanderson AO was a Director for two-and-half years until her appointment as the Governor of Western Australia in August 2014.
Mrs Edwardes has provided high-level strategic advice to Atlas since 2013 in her capacity as an employee and more recently as a solicitor. She will continue to provide this strategic advice in her new role as a Director.
Atlas Chairman David Flanagan said Mrs Edwardes' experience would be invaluable to the Company as it
continued to confront the challenges stemming from the fall in the iron ore price.
"Cheryl's skills span the business and political divide in WA, ensuring she will play a critical role in devising and
implementing Atlas' strategy to be a successful iron ore producer in a challenging environment," Mr Flanagan said.
