Hanking Gold International Limited announced the elevation of Independent Non-Executive Director Wang Ping to the newly created position of Lead Independent Non-Executive Director, effective 20 August 2026.
Wang Ping currently chairs both the Audit Committee and Remuneration Committee and serves on the Nomination Committee. As Lead INED, his mandate will focus on improving communication among independent directors, between independent and other board members, and with shareholders—particularly minority investors. The role carries no executive or managerial duties within Hanking Gold or its subsidiaries.
The introduction of a Lead INED aligns with the amended Corporate Governance Code in Appendix C1 to the Hong Kong Listing Rules that took effect on 1 July 2025. The board believes the appointment will strengthen board effectiveness, diversity and overall corporate governance practices.
As of the announcement date, Hanking Gold’s board comprises: • Executive Directors: Qiu Yumin, Zhang Jing, Tang Wenbin, and Zhang Junfeng • Non-Executive Directors: Xia Zhuo (Chairman) and Zhao Yanchao • Independent Non-Executive Directors: Wang Ping, Wang Anjian, Zhao Bingwen, and Tim Sun
The board welcomed Wang Ping to his expanded role and reiterated its commitment to robust governance standards.
