“Notwithstanding my resignation, Pangaea fully supports Besra and expects to remain a significant shareholder.”
The Besra Board recognises and sincerely thanks Jocelyn for her considerable long-term support of the Company and more recently for her hard work.
Jocelyn leaves the Company well positioned for its next stage of development.
