West Wits Mining’s (ASX:WWI) Non-Executive Director Keith Middleton has resigned from the board to focus on his executive responsibilities at Golden State Mining (ASX:GSM).
The resignation takes effect on 1 September 2026.
Middleton has served as Golden State’s CEO and managing director since November 2025. According to West Wits, the position has progressively demanded more of his time and now requires his full attention.
West Wits Chairman Michael Quinert says Middleton contributed during a period of growth and transformation for the company.
“While we are sorry to see him step down from the board, we fully understand that his growing responsibilities at Golden State Mining now require his complete focus,” Quinert says.
“Keith leaves West Wits with our sincere thanks and appreciation, and on behalf of the board, I wish him every success in his role at Golden State.”
Middleton joined West Wits as general manager in mid-2023, supporting Quinert across investor relations, fundraising, and other corporate activities.
The company appointed Middleton to its board as a non-executive director in July 2025.
His tenure included West Wits’ transition into gold development and first production from the Qala Shallows mine in South Africa.
West Wits’ Witwatersrand Basin Project, located in South Africa’s Central Rand Goldfield, hosts a mineral resource containing 7.24 million ounces of gold at an average grade of 4 grams per tonne.
West Wits Mining is an Australian gold developer and producer focused on the Qala Shallows operation and broader Witwatersrand Basin Project in South Africa.
