Herencia Commences Board Restructure and Corporate Reinvigoration
Herencia confirms today that it has commenced a process of restructuring which will involve the appointment of two new Directors over the next week to oversee Herencia's reestablishment as a viable junior exploration and development company.
As part of that restructure and subject to final negotiation between the parties, Herencia is pleased to advise that Peter Reeve will join the board as a Non Executive Director. A further announcement will be made in due course when the appointment is finalised.
