Turquoise Hill Resources Ltd. said two board members backed by founder Robert Friedland won’t stand for re-election after his holdings in the developer of Mongolia’s biggest copper mine fell below 10 percent.

Livia Mahler and Peter Meredith won’t seek re-election at the annual meeting on May 10, Vancouver-based Turquoise Hill said in a statement yesterday. Friedland said his stake in the company, formerly known as Ivanhoe Mines Ltd., is now 8.4 percent.
