Lupaka Announces Management Changes
VANCOUVER, British Columbia, July 29, 2019 -- Lupaka Gold Corp. (" Lupaka Gold " or the “Company") (TSX-V: LPK, FRA:
LQP) announced today that it has accepted the resignation of Will Ansley as President, CEO, and Director, and Ryan
Webster as CFO of the Company, effective July 31, 2019. Gordon Ellis, co-founder and Chairman of the Company’s board of
directors has been appointed President and CEO and Darryl Jones, the founding CFO, will fill the position of CFO.
As a result of the ongoing illegal blockade of Invicta and the current liquidity constraints, the Company is no longer able to
support the financial burden of a full-time Canadian management presence. With support from the board of directors, Will
Ansley and Ryan Webster have decided to tender their resignations in order to pursue other opportunities. However, both will
continue to provide assistance to the Board and new management and help ensure a timely transition while the Company
continues to evaluate strategic opportunities and a solution to the ongoing illegal blockade of Invicta.
“On behalf of myself and the rest of the board of directors I would like to thank Will Ansley and Ryan Webster for their efforts
in successfully pushing the development of the Invicta Gold Project toward commercial production, and their continued efforts
to resolve the illegal blockade of Invicta by the community of Paran.
Gordon Ellis, Chairman of the Board of Lupaka
“I would like to thank our former employees, contractors, and the communities of Lacsanga and Santo Domingo for all of their
hard work, dedication and support. Together we were able to advance the overall development of Invicta to approximately 90%
complete, commence the shipment of mineralized material to toll plants for batch test processing which produced three
saleable concentrates, and through our underground development and geologic sampling and mapping programs we clearly
demonstrated the high-grade continuous nature of the mineralization at Invicta and extended the mineralization on-strike.
Invicta is an outstanding shovel ready mining project that will bring long-term prosperity in the region. The onus is on the
government of Peru to assist in restoring order to the area and the re-establishment of basic property rights. I wish the team
my very best towards a swift resolution to get Invicta up and running again.”
Will Ansley, President and CEO of Lupaka
