Mineral Resources non-executive director and former Test cricketer Justin Langer quits battling miner's board
Former Test cricketer Justin Langer is stepping down as a non-executive director of Mineral Resources with immediate effect, marking yet another exit from the miner's boardroom. In a statement to market on Wednesday, the former coach of the Australian men's cricket team said he was 'not in a position to continue to give the time and focus that I believe MinRes deserves'. His resignation from the board will take effect from today. He joined in late 2023 and had been serving on the ethics and governance committee among others. The exiting director said it had been a privilege to serve on the board 'during a period of significant challenges and change for the company.' 'I thank Chris Ellison and the Board for their understanding of my position and I look forward to observing MinRes enter its next chapter,' he said. His exit comes after that of his fellow non-executive directors Jacqueline McGill, Susie Corlett and Denise McComish, who all left the company in April. More to come.

MinRes reconsiders Ellison's exit, admits Kali share trading probe
Mineral Resources says it is reconsidering whether its managing director Chris Ellison should stay in the job despite having told shareholders he would leave next year after admitting to involvement in a tax evasion scheme that enriched the businessman at the expense of the company. Ellison is the high-profile West Australian entrepreneur who founded MinRes in 1992, growing the sprawling company into an ASX-listed diversified miner and mining services business worth almost $5 billion.

Ex-NFL star Keyshawn Johnson 'sues agent for $1million' in bombshell filing
Former NFL star Keyshawn Johnson has sued agent Chris Ellison - alleging that he is owed nearly $1milllion for helping him land clients over the years. Super Bowl XXXVII champion Johnson and Ellison reportedly went into business together 10 years ago, with the former receiver agreeing to send clients towards Ellison in exchange for a cut of the contracts they received. However, according to a lawsuit obtained by TMZ, Johnson is alleging that Ellison did not pay him for four players who became his clients. Ellison has denied the claims in the lawsuit, which was filed in Los Angeles last week. The players are listed as 49ers cornerback Deommodore Lenoir, Bears cornerback Jaylon Johnson, Falcons cornerback Mike Hughes and Packers wide receiver Romeo Doubs. According to the suit, Johnson was meant to get one percent commission on players' contracts, which would equate to one-third of Ellison's three-percent commission rate. Lenoir signed a five-year, $88.8million extension with San Francisco last year, while Johnson also signed a four-year, $76million extension with Chicago. Hughes, meanwhile, signed an $18million deal with the Falcons in March, while Doubs is still playing on his four-year $4.34million rookie contract. All told, Johnson believes he is owed $962,335 by Elllison. Ellison runs Be The Best Sports Group, which also represents the likes of Raiders cornerback Darnay Holmes and Eagles rookie receiver Giles Jackson. In March, Ellison took to Instagram to congratulate Hughes on his new contract. 'Congratulations to my family Mike Hughes on re-signing with the Falcons,' he wrote. 'The road from New Bern to Atlanta is not as straight as they think it is. But you did it and I'm proud and blessed to be a part of your life.' Johnson, who is best known for his time with the Jets and Buccaneers, retired from football after the 2006 season after an 11-year career.
