LIMA, PERU–(Marketwired – June 15, 2016) – Minera IRL Limited (“Minera IRL” or the “Company”) (BVLAC:MIRL), Latin America gold mining Company, announces the resignation of Messrs. Doug Jones and Robin Fryer from the Board of Directors of the Company.
Mr. Doug Jones is the longest serving member of the Board having been appointed in 2003. Mr. Robin Fryer joined the board in 2015.
Commenting on the resignation of two of the Directors, Francis O’Kelly the Company’s Chairman said “that the departing directors had notified the Board some while ago of their intention to stand down once replacement Directors had been nominated and the terms of the Memorandum of Understanding (press release dated February 5th, 2016) had been substantially accomplished. The new Minera directors are Gerardo Perez and George Bee.”
Mr. O’Kelly stated that he appreciated the dedication and professionalism of the two departing directors who had been subjected to intense pressures during the past tumultuous year of internal dispute within the Company. Throughout that period they both contributed their time and effort well beyond what is normally expected of non- executive Directors. Both have agreed to provide consulting services up to the 2016 AGM in order to consolidate the transition and assist with the Company’s endeavors to re- establish share trading and advance the flagship gold project at Ollachea.
The Company wishes Doug Jones every success with his new mining venture in West Africa.

While considered by management to be reasonable in the context in which they are made, forward- looking statements are inherently subject to political, legal, regulatory, business and economic risks and competitive uncertainties and contingencies. The Company cautions readers that forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause Minera IRL’s actual financial results, legislative environment, future performance and results of exploration and development programs and plans to be materially different than those expected or estimated future results, performance or achievements and that forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance, results or achievements.
