Adriatic Metals PLC (ASX:ADT, LSE:ADT1, OTCQX:ADMLF) ("Adriatic" or the "Company") announces the appointment of experienced mining executive, Mike Norris, as the Company´s Chief Financial Officer ("CFO"), with immediate effect.
Mr. Norris is a qualified Chartered Accountant with over 30 years of commercial and operational experience in the mining industry.

Prior to that, he was Finance Director for London-listed, African gold producer Avocet Mining PLC, where he oversaw the construction and commissioning of the Inata mine. He has also held the positions of Head of Business Performance at Anglo American and CFO of Kennecott Greens Creek Mining Co., an underground silver-zinc mine, when it was then owned by Rio Tinto.
Mr. Eyre will stand down after a short transition period. Mr. Norris will be based out of the Company's UK office.

His extensive experience will be especially valuable over the coming 12 months as the Vares Silver Project advances towards production in Q2 2023.
I would like to thank Geoff for his contributions to Adriatic, including his involvement in the US$244.5 million project finance package secured last year. I wish him well in his future endeavours."
