Board Changes 
 
BWA (AQSE: BWAP), which has mineral exploration licences in 
bothCameroonandCanadaat various stages of development and is quoted on London's 
AQSE Growth Market, is pleased to announce the appointment of John Byfield and 
Jonathan Wearing to the board of directors of the Company (the "Board"), as 
previously indicated in the Company's announcement of 27 April 2023. 
 
John Byfield has joined the Board as an independent non-executive director with 
effect from 1 July 2023.  He qualified as a solicitor in 1978, forming his own 
practice in Southampton in 1980.  This practice focussed on sports law and 
commercial elements around sport, in particular Formula 1 motor racing.  After 
merging with a larger regional firm, Mr Byfield retired from private practice 
and founded a sports management business, Essentially Group, of which he was 
Executive Chairman, and which was admitted to trading on AIM in 2006, before 
being sold to Chime Communications in 2010. 
 
Jonathan Wearing has joined the Board as a non-executive director with effect 
from 1 July 2023.  He started his career with CitiBank in London in the 1970s, 
progressing through both the commercial and investment banking units, finishing 
as a mergers and acquisitions specialist.  Mr Wearing was formerly the Chairman 
of AIM-traded Ideagen plc, the software company taken private by Hg Capital in 
July 2022 and, separately, Chairman of AQSE quoted Sativa Group plc. 
Independently, for the last two decades Mr Wearing has built his own consultancy 
and investment business.  Mr Wearing was a participant in the equity fundraising 
announced by the Company on 30 June 2023. 
 
Concurrently, James Hogg has stepped down from the Board in order to focus on 
his role as a director at the Company's wholly owned subsidiary, BWA Resources 
(UK) Limited, through which BWA's interests in the Cameroon heavy mineral sands 
projects are held.  Addison Mining Services Ltd, a company controlled by Mr 
Hogg, will continue to provide technical support in relation to the Cameroon 
heavy mineral sands projects, something that the Board expects to become 
increasingly important as these projects develop. 
 
The Directors of BWA are responsible for the contents of this announcement.
