Cokal Limited (ASX: CKA, 'Cokal' or 'the Company') is pleased to announce the appointment of Mr David Delbridge as a non-executive director of the Company.

David is an Australian Citizen, has a bachelors degree in Mining Engineering (University of NSW, Australia) with Honours and has over 30 years' experience in the mining industry. He is a member of PERHAPI and the AusIMM, and a recognised competent person under the KCMI code as well as for JORC reserve statements for open cut coal.

David has international experience, working for over 7 years as an expatriate in Indonesia. David led a team of local, professional Indonesian employees, which included mentoring and coaching, as well as responsibility for training and development. He has significant on-site operations experience, interactively providing practical and technical direction and team leadership for maintaining and improving mining operations at a senior leadership level. He has been responsible for short term compliance (to a plan) and longer term development and strategic planning across many different operations and minerals.

In recent years, David has worked at Citic Pacific Mining on its Sino Iron Ore project in Western Australia, at Jiujiang Mining Australia Pty Ltd on its Cairn Hill project in South Australia and was engaged for a 7 year stint at Bayan Resources Group as Manager - Mine Planning and Development in Jakarta with operational sites in Kalimantan.

Importantly, David's experience at Bayan Resources includes providing Bayan Resources' senior management and operations with pit price shells for optimum internal net present value and JORC compliant reporting. This resulted in re-designs across several different operations, improved cash flow and providing coal supply within contract quality specifications.

Chairman Domenic Martino commented 'David's appointment continues Cokal's enhancement of its deep Indonesian coal mining experience as it proceeds on its path to first commercial production. Not only does David's coal mining experience add to the Board's technical and operational knowhow, but his Indonesian coal mining experience uniquely strengthens the Company's capability in operating in its key area of operations in Kalimantan.'
