AJN Resources Inc. founder and long-time director Mark Gasson passed away on Nov. 14, 2025, after a short illness.

Mr. Gasson co-founded AJN in 2016. During his nine years as a director of AJN, Mr. Gasson was instrumental in sourcing prospective properties for AJN in Africa, contributing his more than 35 years of experience as a geologist in mineral exploration and resource development across Africa and South America.

Mr. Gasson previously served on the boards of Tiger Resources, Erongo Energy and Alphamin Resources and as exploration manager of a number of junior mineral exploration companies. He was instrumental in the discovery of Tiger Resources' one-million-tonne Kipoi copper deposit, 250,000 tonnes of tin mineralization grading at 3.5 per cent tin at Alphamin's Bisie tin project and three million ounces of gold at Amani's Giro deposits, all of which are located in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
