Orosur Mining Inc. – Leadership Transition
Medellín, Colombia, April 20, 2020. Orosur Mining Inc. (“Orosur” or “the Company”) (TSX/AIM: OMI), a South
American-focused gold developer and explorer wishes to announce that Ignacio Salazar, Chief Executive
Officer of the Company, will be stepping down from his current role and leaving the Company with effect from 17
July 2020 to take up a new position as Chief Executive Officer of Highfield Resources Limited, an ASX-listed
mining company with assets in Spain (“Highfield”). A search for his replacement has commenced.
Mr. Salazar has been the CEO of Orosur since March 2013 after first joining the Company in September 2008
as Finance Director. He will continue as CEO until 17 July 2020 and, during this 3-month period, will provide
support to ensure a smooth transition. Orosur’s Chairman, Louis Castro, will work closely with Mr. Salazar to
facilitate the process.
Louis Castro, Chairman of Orosur, commented:
“We wish Ignacio all the best in his professional and personal endeavours and acknowledge his decision to
move after a long and successful spell at Orosur. He has led the Company through very challenging times and
has been instrumental in transforming Orosur with the acquisition of the Anzá project in Colombia in 2014,
building a strategic alliance with Newmont since 2018 as well as developing operations and progressing a fair
solution in Uruguay for all stakeholders. We thank him for his significant service and dedication to the Company
and its shareholders.”
Ignacio Salazar, CEO of Orosur, commented:
“After 11 years with the Company, it is with mixed feelings that I make the decision to depart from Orosur to
move to Highfield which, I feel, is a natural step in my career. Orosur is moving into a new phase as an
exploration and development company and I am confident that during the next three months, I will be handing
over to a strong and well-balanced team with a strong platform to grow. I remain a friend of the Company and
wish all the best of success to the team, the board, our shareholders and other stakeholders”.
