The Company also announces that Director Matthew Wubs will not be seeking re-election at the 2024 Annual Meeting of Shareholders (the "2024 Annual Meeting"), as he plans to dedicate more time to his family business.

Before joining BMO Capital Markets, he worked at one of the largest global accounting firms. Mr. Tejani also notably served on the Board of Directors of Pretium Resources from 2018 to 2022. He holds a Bachelor of Arts (Honours) degree from the University of Western Ontario and is a Chartered Professional Accountant.
