The Board would like to thank Mr. Anagnostaras-Adams for his dedication, leadership and contribution to the Company during his tenure as CEO. Mr. Rod Halliday, current CEO of EMED Mining subsidiary, EMED Tartessus, has been appointed interim CEO and Board member of EMED Mining while the Board conducts a search for a new CEO.

I would like to thank shareholders for their continued support and look forward to the Company's transition into a major low cost European copper producer.

EMED Mining is well placed as it approaches the production stage and I have full confidence in the ongoing team to take the project forward. It has been a privilege to have worked with EMED and the entire Company's team, and to have the project advanced to its current state."
