A Non-Executive Director of Artemis since October 2017, H.H Sheikh Maktoum will take the role of non-executive chairman.
Mr Lenigas – who was appointed back in November 2016 only days before reporting visible gold at Purdy’s Reward and locking in a $525,500 cap raising – has resigned from the board citing the demands on his time from family and his other business activities.

I am excited to accept this role and assure our shareholders that I am committed to working to providing the leadership to move the Company forward,” he said.
I have the skills and experience to facilitate this and my business interests include mining and exploration projects in other parts of the world.”
