ensure the Company’s continued success during this time. Canterra holds an exciting portfolio, with a great
management and technical team that I’m eager to contribute to. Mr. Pennimpede has been a close friend for many
years, and my thoughts are with him and his family during his recovery,” stated Mr. Quinn.
