NEWS RELEASE
Erin Ventures Appoints New Director
May 17, 2019
Erin Ventures Inc. [TSXV: EV] is pleased to announce the appointment of Dusan Podunavac, P. Geo., to
its Board of Directors. Throughout his career, Mr. Podunavac has been active in all facets of geological
exploration, mine development and public policy advice in both the private and public sectors. Since
2014, Dusan has served as Project Manager for Erin Ventures, overseeing its geological program at the
Piskanja Boron Project.
Between 1988 and 2014, Mr. Podunavac held senior positions at the internationally acclaimed Geological
Survey of Serbia, most notably as its Senior Geologist, then Technical Director, and ultimately as General
Manager. In addition, Dusan served as Exploration Manager (Nonmetallic and Metallic Raw Materials)
and Department Head - Mineral Resources Assessment, at the Geological Survey where he was
responsible for geological, mineralogical, metallurgical, and technical studies and the coordination and
management of technical teams for multiple tasks (mineral exploration, hydrology, environmental, mining
engineering, and remediation) for a diverse set of mineral resources in both open pit and underground
settings.
Specifically, Mr. Podunavac's expertise and duties at the Geological Survey included: management of the
geological and engineering divisions within the institute, with supervision of technical teams of up to 250
professionals; team leader on mining feasibility studies; cash-flow analysis; international project-specific
financing; and, the management/supervision of mining and environmental engineering, technical studies,
mine planning, construction and remediation on multiple projects.
Along with his experience in the private sector, Mr. Podunavac has extensive experience consulting to the
Serbian government and governments internationally. He has provided public policy advice in the areas
of privatization of government-owned mining assets, along with all facets of mining regulations.
Additionally, he has been called upon to provide technical evaluations to governments with respect to
various mining operations and companies, as well as to perform environmental audits. As a result, Dusan
has cultivated and maintains good working relationships with a variety of scientific researchers, policy
managers, and government officials within Serbia and elsewhere.
“I believe that Dusan is a logical choice for our board,” said Tim Daniels, CEO of Erin. “He is a
geologist with extensive experience, both in the field and in management. He knows Piskanja intimately,
as he has been involved with the project in various ways since 1997. Importantly, he is very well
connected and respected within the local mining community and within the Ministry of Mining. And
ultimately, he is a good man and is like-minded regarding how to best develop our project.”
The appointment of Dusan Podunavac is subject to shareholder and TSXV approval.
On behalf of the Board of Directors,
Blake Fallis, General Manager

to a higher category or to reserves. U.S. persons are advised that while mineral resources are recognized under
Canadian regulations, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission does not recognize them. U.S. persons are also
cautioned not to assume that all or any part of an inferred mineral resource is economically or legally mineable.
