Mike’s experience includes project management in feasibility and engineering studies, project development, technical reviews, financial evaluations, strategic planning, mine expansions, construction management, and project due diligence over a wide range of commodities and jurisdictions including base-metals, gold, and diamonds, in jurisdictions including Africa, Australia, North America, South America, Europe and Russia.

David Rhodes, Chairman, states “We are excited to welcome Mike as Altaley’s new CEO where his experience will augment and strengthen the Company’s management team, especially in operations, project engineering and construction management. The Company has experienced a number of delays with bringing our flagship Tahuehueto project on stream, so in his new role Mike will bring his extensive experience to bear to ensure Tahuehueto is successfully delivered to add significant value to shareholders through sustained and consistent production. Together with more consistent production from our Campo Morado operation, this will provide the foundation for the Company to grow to meet its aspiration of becoming Mexico’s next mid-tier metals producer.”

Mr. Shearing will continue as President and Director of the Company, where his long tenure and experience in senior management will continue to provide invaluable knowledge and insight to the Company.

On his appointment, Mike Struthers commented: “I am delighted to join the Altaley team to help build the Company into a significant player in the Mexican mining scene. I’m confident we can overcome recent challenges to successfully deliver the Tahuehueto project efficiently for shareholders, and thereafter to ensure both operations in Mexico produce consistently to create that foundation for growth. The Altaley organization will also continue to evolve and strengthen as it completes its transition from an explorer to dependable producer. I’m looking forwards to achieving key strategic milestones in the Company’s development over the next 12 months and beyond.”

Cautionary Note Regarding Production Decisions and Forward-Looking Statements

Neither TSX Venture Exchange nor its Regulation Services Provider (as that term is defined in the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange) accepts responsibility for the adequacy or accuracy of this release.

It should be noted that Altaley declared commercial production at Campo Morado prior to completing a feasibility study of mineral reserves demonstrating economic and technical viability. Accordingly, readers should be cautioned that Altaley’s production decision has been made without a comprehensive feasibility study of established reserves such that there is greater risk and uncertainty as to future economic results from the Campo Morado mine and a higher technical risk of failure than would be the case if a feasibility study were completed and relied upon to make a production decision. Altaley has completed a preliminary economic assessment (“PEA”) mining study on the Campo Morado mine that provides a conceptual life of mine plan and a preliminary economic analysis based on the previously identified mineral resources (see News Release dated November 8, 2017, and April 4, 2018). ). Furthermore, It should be noted that Altaley intends to commence pre-production and ramp up to full commercial production at Tahuehueto prior to completing a feasibility study of mineral reserves demonstrating economic and technical viability. Accordingly, readers should be cautioned that Altaley’s pre-production and production decisions will be made without a comprehensive feasibility study of established reserves such that there is greater risk and uncertainty as to future economic results from the Tahuehueto mine and a higher technical risk of failure than would be the case if a feasibility study were completed and relied upon to make such production decisions. Altaley has completed a positive pre-feasibility study (the “Pre-Feasibility Study”) and updated mineral reserves/resources estimates at its flagship Tahuehueto Mine that provides a conceptual life of mine plan and a preliminary economic analysis based on a 1,000 tonne per day operation (see News Release dated March 7, 2022)
