Mr. Maclean served as an independent director of Mawson since February 2012 and as member of Mawson's Audit, Compensation, Corporate Governance and Nominating Committees.
Mr. Maclean was a highly accomplished mining professional whose career spanned many decades. He was a founding partner and former Deputy Chairman of The Sentient Group's Resources Funds ("Sentient").

Prior to AMP, he spent 15 years as an exploration geologist, mainly with the Exxon Minerals group, exploring for uranium, gold and other ore deposit types in Australia, South Africa, the USA and Europe. His most senior field role was Exploration Manager for Exxon Minerals Germany, where his team was successful in delineating a uranium deposit.
Michael Hudson, Executive Chairman, states, "Colin was simply a very good man. We were all privileged to have him in our lives. His balance, poise, fierce intellect, and rational approach to all issues will be greatly missed. He was a great mentor. Vale Colin and our thoughts are with his wonderful family."
