A former federal prosecutor, cabinet minister and chief of staff to Prime Minister Mark Carney, he brings two decades of leadership in law, government and public policy.

Mr. Mendicino led the Prime Minister's Office through a national election and one of the most significant transitions of government in recent decades, advancing major projects legislation, working with premiers and indigenous leaders and closely advising the Prime Minister while at the White House, NATO (North Atlantic Treaty Organization) and G7.

"I am very pleased to join the team at Allied. Their tungsten assets in Portugal are strategically located in a NATO member state and have historically been very important assets from a global security perspective. Seeing these past-producing mines come back into production will be a major development from a NATO security perspective," commented Mr. Mendicino, strategic adviser to the company. "We will work closely with all stakeholders to ensure these assets are developed for the benefit of Portugal and its allies."

Mr. Mendicino joins a team that also includes the appointment of Major General (retired) James A. (Spider) Marks and former U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security Kirstjen M.
