APPOINTMENT OF DIRECTOR – PROFESSOR JUSTIN HASTINGS
The Directors of Far East Gold Limited (ASX:FEG) (FEG or the Company) are delighted to announce
the appointment of Professor Justin Hastings, a leading scholar of international relations and the
geopolitics of critical minerals, to the Board of Directors of FEG, effective 24 June 2026.
The appointment being as nominee Director under completion of the Stage 1 Idenburg Transaction.
Justin Hastings is Professor of International Relations and Comparative Politics at the University of
Sydney, with more than twenty years of experience researching international security, including
geopolitical risk, strategic threats, security and trade, and international legal compliance. His work
examines the geopolitics of global supply chains and the strategic competition shaping access
to critical minerals, and he is a contributor to expert roundtables evaluating Australia's positioning
in the global race for critical minerals. He has consulted extensively for companies, international
organisations, and governments on political, economic, and security risk in Southeast Asia and the
broader Asia-Pacific, bringing deep insight into the international policy, trade and security dynamics
increasingly central to the resources sector.
His expertise spans the strategic, regulatory and geopolitical considerations that are increasingly
material to resource development across the Asia-Pacific – the region in which FEG holds
advanced gold and copper projects spanning Australia and Indonesia. The Board expects Professor
Hastings’ perspective to strengthen FEG’s strategic positioning and stakeholder engagement as
global demand and competition for precious and critical metals continues to intensify.
FEG Chief Executive Officer – Mr. Shane Menere commented:
“I am delighted to welcome Professor Hastings to the Far East Gold Board. As competition for gold
and critical minerals becomes ever more geopolitical, Justin brings a rare and valuable perspective
on the international policy, trade and security forces shaping our industry.
His scholarship on global resource supply chains and Australia’s place in the critical minerals race
will be of significant benefit as FEG advances its portfolio across Australia and Indonesia. I speak for
the entire Board when I say Justin will be a pivotal and valued addition who will help guide the
Company to execute its strategy, develop its world class portfolio and fast track value creation for
shareholders.”
