28 OCTOBER 2026 CORPORATE RELEASE
APPOINTMENT OF INDEPENDENT NON-EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
Impact Minerals Limited (ASX: IPT) (“Impact Minerals” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce the
appointment of Dr Lana Weldon as an Independent Non-Executive Director, effective 28 October 2026.
Strategic rationale for the appointment
Board renewal was a key outcome of the Company’s 100-day plan. The skills of the outgoing directors were
highly valued while Impact Minerals was principally an explorer. As the Company’s focus has moved to
materials processing, a different mix of board skills is required. Impact Minerals is also becoming more
complex financially, and its team is growing. Dr Weldon’s accounting, audit and governance experience is well
suited to this next phase.
About Dr Lana Weldon
Dr Weldon has more than 30 years’ experience in accounting, audit and business advisory. She trained in Big 4
accounting firms and was a partner of a chartered accounting firm in South Africa and senior executive in
Australia.
She also has extensive experience in governance, consulting and education, including non-executive director
roles with a range of organisations and service as Chair of an Audit Committee.
Dr Weldon is a Graduate of the Australian Institute of Company Directors (GAICD) and a Fellow of Chartered
Accountants Australia and New Zealand (CA ANZ), an honour awarded primarily in recognition of her
commitment to the education and development of chartered accountants over her 30-year career.
A passionate advocate for people development, Dr Weldon has pursued this through her research and her
involvement with professional and academic accounting bodies. She has mentored many young professionals
and trained mentors globally within the sector.
She holds a PhD in Accounting Education, an MBA and a Bachelor of Commerce Honours in Accounting.
Executive Chair Jim McKerlie said: “We are delighted to welcome Lana to the Board and privileged to have a
director of her qualifications and experience.”
Dr Weldon commented:
“I am delighted to join Impact Minerals as it enters its next phase. I look forward to supporting the Company
with strong financial oversight and governance, and helping develop its growing team.”
