First Graphite appoints Warwick Grigor as Director & Chairman
First Graphite (ASX: MRF) is pleased to advise Mr Warwick Grigor is to be appointed as a director of the Company. Mr Grigor will assume the role as Chairman of the board. Mr Grigor’s appointment will be effective from Monday 7 December 2015.
Mr Grigor is a highly respected and experienced mining analyst, with an intimate knowledge of all market related aspects of the mining industry.
He is a graduate of the Australian National University having completed degrees in law and economics.
After a 10 year period in stockbroking he left County Natwest Securities in 1991 to found Far East Capital Limited, a specialist mining company financier and corporate adviser, in partnership with Andrew "Twiggy" Forrest.
In 2008, Far East Capital sponsored the formation of a stockbroking company, BGF Equities, and Mr Grigor assumed the position of Executive Chairman. This was re-badged as Canaccord Genuity Australia Limited when a 50% stake was sold to Canaccord Genuity Group Inc. in 2011. Mr Grigor retired from
Canaccord in October 2014, returning to Far East Capital.
Mr Grigor is also a director of Peninsula Energy Limited, which is currently commissioning an in-situ recovery uranium mine in Wyoming, USA. First Graphite Managing Director Craig McGuckin said the appointment of Mr Grigor was a major coup for the Company.
“To have someone of Warwick’s calibre and experience agree to join the board is a strong endorsement of the quality of the graphite resource and the graphene research work being conducted by the Company.”
“Warwick’s experience will be greatly appreciated by the board as we move into the next exciting phase of the Company’s development.”
