Brian Gilbertson
Non Executive Chairman
In 1997, Gencor Limited restructured its non-precious metals interests as Billiton plc. With Mr Gilbertson as
Executive Chairman, Billiton plc raised US$1.5 billion in an initial public offering on the LSE, taking the
company into the FTSE 100. Separately, Mr Gilbertson worked to merge the gold operations of Gencor and
Gold Fields of South Africa, creating Gold Fields Limited, a leader in the world gold mining industry. He
served as its first Chairman until October 1998. In 2001, Billiton plc merged with BHP Limited to create
what is widely regarded as the world's premier resources company, BHP Billiton plc. Mr Gilbertson was
appointed its second Chief Executive on 1 July 2002. In late 2003, Mr Gilbertson led mining group Vedanta
Resources plc (Vedanta) to the first primary listing of an Indian company on the London Stock Exchange in
the second largest IPO of the year (US$876 million). He served as Chairman of Vedanta until July 2004. He
was appointed President of Sibirsko-Uralskaya Aluminium Company (SUAL), the smaller aluminium
producer in Russia and led that company into the US$30 billion merger with RUSAL and the alumina
assets of Glencore International A.G., creating the largest aluminium company in the world.
Mr Gilbertson established Pallinghurst Advisors LLP and Pallinghurst (Cayman) GP L.P. during 2006 and
2007 respectively, to develop opportunities on behalf of a group of natural resource investors, which
currently own 86% of Jupiter. Mr Gilbertson is the non-executive chairman of Gemfields Group Limited, a
company listed on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange (JSE: GML).
Priyank Thapliyal

Chief Executive Officer
Priyank joined Sterlite Industries in 2000 and worked alongside Mr Anil Agarwal (owner) to implement the
strategies that led to the creation of Vedanta Resources plc, a FTSE 100 company. Vedanta floated on the
London Stock Exchange (LSE) in December 2003 and raised USD 870 million in its IPO, in what was the
largest mining IPO on the LSE that year, and also the first primary listing of an Indian company on the LSE.
The success of the Vedanta IPO was instrumental in other emerging market mining companies seeking
LSE listings. Subsequent to the LSE listing, he led Vedanta's first major overseas acquisition via the USD
50 million controlling investment in Konkola Copper Mines (KCM) in Zambia in 2004. At the time of his
departure in October 2005 to co-found Pallinghurst Resources LLP (Pallinghurst LLP), the KCM stake was
valued at USD 1 billion and Vedanta had a market capitalisation of USD 7.5 billion.
Priyank has been instrumental in delivering Pallinghurst's steel feed strategy via Jupiter Mines Limited.
That has led to the creation of the flagship Tshipi Manganese Mine, from what was a greenfield project, into
one of the largest, long-life and low cost assets of strategic importance
