In his most recent position as Managing Director at Add Energy, Mr Robaina was responsible for overseeing the business operating model, which saw the Company achieve significant financial growth over a 4-year period. He was an active member in Add Energy's Executive team during its 2022/23 acquisition and integration into ABL Group.

These operations have hosted a variety of resources such as copper, uranium, gold, lithium, nickel, cobalt and PGEs. Over the course of his professional career, Mr Logan has developed strong theoretical and practical skills, enabling the delivery of geoscientific outcomes to notable Companies and operations, including the likes of BHP's Olympic Dam Project and Azure Minerals Ltd's Andover Project.

Mr Logan's role at Azure Minerals saw him design and execute exploration and drill hole strategies, in addition to resource development of highly mineralised LCT pegmatities. This experience in driving early-stage activity will be invaluable to furthering Castillo Copper's asset development strategy.

Ged Hall, Chairman of Castillo Copper, said: "I would like to personally thank Jack and David for stepping up to assist in guiding the Company's reinvigorated development strategy in recent months.

"No doubt we find ourselves facing a challenging market at present, however with core assets identified - as well as a commitment to advance development at these operations with targeted exploration activity - the Company is well-equipped to forge ahead. Castillo Copper wishes Jack and David all the best in their future endeavours.

"To bolster our developmental efforts in 2024 and beyond, we are incredibly excited to welcome aboard Eduardo and Joel to the Castillo Copper Board. Each possessing a unique calibre of experience, the Company looks forward to maximising Company value with the adage of their joint expertise."
