Gladstone Pacific Nickel Limited is pleased to announce the appointment of Dr Clive Palmer to the board of directors.

The re appointment of Dr Palmer to the GPN Board was made possible after the lapse of the Scheme Implementation Agreement, regarding the proposed merger with RDI, on March 31st 2009.

Dr Clive Palmer has been appointed in a non executive capacity to join current directors Mr James Henderson, Mr Domenic Martino, Mr Benjamin Hill and MD Mr John Downie on the GPN Board.
