The Company further advises that Mr. T. Sean Harvey has stepped down from his role as Chairman of the Board, but
will remain as a non-executive director of the Company. Mr. Mel Williams, will take over as Chairman with immediate
effect.
Mr Michael Hodgson, the CEO of Serabi, commented;
"Sean has been Chairman of the Company since 2011, overseeing the Company's listing on the TSX, as well as the development and
growth of the Company through what have been, at times, difficult markets conditions. His knowledge and guidance has, and
will continue to be, valuable. Whilst he feels with his other commitments, he is no longer able to dedicate the time and
effort he considers the role requires going forward, I am pleased that the Board will continue to benefit from his experience and
counsel. Mel Williams has been a Director of the Company since 2011 and the head of Serabi's Audit Committee. He has
been Finance Director for a number of gold mining companies through his career and as a result has a wealth of operational
experience making him a strong replacement as Chairman."
