Board update

The company also announces the retirement and resignation of Bruce Ramsden as a director.

The board thanks Mr. Ramsden for his significant contributions and wishes him well in retirement.

Lipari is pleased to announce the appointment of Jose Fabio Borges to the board of directors, filling the vacancy created by Mr. Ramsden's departure.

Mr. Borges is a seasoned finance and accounting executive with over 25 years of experience, including more than a decade in leadership roles within the mining industry. He currently serves as finance manager for Centaurus Metals Ltd., where he oversees financial and accounting operations for the Jaguar nickel project in Brazil.

"Fabio brings a wealth of financial and operational expertise, a keen insight into capital markets and an intimate understanding of Lipari's strategic goals. As an independent member of Lipari's audit committee, Fabio's fluency in both Portuguese and English will prove to be invaluable to help ensure transparency in our financial reporting and audit process," said Kenneth Johnson, president and chief executive officer. "We are pleased to welcome him back to the company in a board capacity as we expand our presence in Angola and pursue long-term value creation."

Continuance to Ontario

Finally, the company is pleased to announce that, effective July 11, 2025, the company has been continued from Canada (Canada Business Corporations Act) to Ontario (Business Corporations Act (Ontario)).
