his extensive industry experience and breadth of global relationships, Paul will lead the Company’s
capital markets initiatives. Along with his appointment, I am thrilled to welcome our new technical
team, most of whom will be transitioning from Sulliden to focus 100% of their efforts on Troilus. With a
proven track-record of successfully developing mine projects globally, I am confident that the team we
