MMH - Miranda Mineral Holdings Limited - New Chief Executive Officer and change in Designation of Former CEO Miranda Mineral Holdings Limited (Incorporated in the Republic of South Africa) (Registration number 1998/001940/06) Share code: MMH ISIN: ZAE000074019 ("Miranda" or "the Company" or "the Group") New Chief Executive Officer and Change in Designation of Former CEO In compliance with paragraph 3.59 of the Listing Requirements of the JSE Limited, shareholders are advised of the following changes to Miranda`s board of directors: * Mr Glen Poff, previously a non-executive director of the Company, has been appointed as Chief Executive Officer with effect from 14 March 2011. * Mr Ron Nel, previously Chief Executive Officer of the Company, is taking up the new position of Deputy Chairman with effect from 14 March 2011, and will hence remain on the Board in the capacity of non-executive director. Background and Rationale Strategically, Miranda announced last year that it was considering ways in which to strengthen the board and the executive team with the specialised skills required to take Miranda into its new development phase. The Group has also stated the importance of addressing the matter of succession planning, given that the management agreement held by IFC, Ron Nel`s management company, expires at the end of February 2012. The above changes to the Board of Directors provide the Group with the best of both worlds: * It allows Miranda to benefit from the skills of Glen Poff, a specialist developer of multi-national businesses, at a time when the Group is ready to bring the first of its coal development projects to account. * At the same time, the knowledge and experience of Ron Nel, a founder of Miranda who played an integral role in building the portfolio of assets in the Group, will be available to the Group in a new advisory role. It is envisaged that Messrs Poff and Nel will work closely together over the next 12 months to ensure continuity in all existing projects and negotiations. The Board thanks Mr Nel for his vision, passion and determined efforts, which have seen him build up a portfolio of exciting mineral assets in South Africa and Botswana during the last five years. He leaves his office in the knowledge that the Group will be appropriately capitalized once the Claw Back Offer (see SENS announcement dated 9 March 2011) has been concluded.
