"It is with great pleasure that I announce the appointment of Ian as our new Chief Financial Officer," said Josemaria President and Chief Executive Officer, Wojtek Wodzicki. "With the Josemaria feasibility study underway, and the recent completion of the Company's spinout of its Los Helados project and other exploration assets to NGEx Minerals Ltd., the Company's focus has now shifted to advancement of its 100% owned Josemaria Project. As the Josemaria Project heads towards a development decision, the demands on the Company's finance team will undoubtedly increase, with one of the key aspects to successful development being project financing. Ian brings with him a wealth of knowledge and experience having served as a member of the executive management team or as a director of various successful resource companies and will be a cornerstone of at the Company as we strive to unlock further value at Josemaria for our stakeholders.

Joyce's contribution over the last two and a half years, as the Company's CFO, have been instrumental to the Company's successes to-date, and I am confident that her continued contributions in the role of Corporate Controller will carry the Company steadily into this new phase."
