junior mining sector for the past 40 years. Dusan was one of the original founders of the Company
since its incorporation in 2007, board member and Chief Financial Officer of Patriot for over 10
years. He has been a loyal, driven and dedicated director and key member of the management
team. He was instrumental in laying the foundation for the success of the Company. His efforts
have been a large part of our successful transformation to date and his wisdom and insights over
the many years will be greatly missed . On behalf of management and the board, we wish Dusan
and his family all the very best in retirement.”
