LOYALIST ANNOUNCES BOB BRESEE AS VICE PRESIDENT OF OPERATIONS

Loyalist Exploration Ltd. has appointed Bob Bresee, CET, as vice-president of operations.

Mr. Bresee is a certified engineering technologist and a graduate of the Haileybury School of Mines. With more than 45 years of hands-on experience in the mining industry and as a long-time resident of Timmins, Ont., he brings extensive operational and technical expertise to the role. Mr. Bresee began his career at the bottom of the ladder in 1975 as a miner, shift boss trainee and spare shift boss at Kerr Addison Gold Mines Ltd. in Virginiatown, Ont., and has steadily worked his way up through progressively senior roles in engineering, project management and operations leadership. Mr. Bresee will continue as a director of the company.

His career includes senior positions with several notable companies, such as:

• Kinross Gold Corp. (Hoyle Pond mine);
• Klondex Mines Ltd. (as vice-president, elect, Canadian operations and general manager of the Midas mine mill);
• Trelawney Mining Exploration Inc. (mine manager, Chester area projects);
• Liberty Mines Inc. (mine manager, Redstone and McWatters operations);
• River Gold Mines Ltd. (project manager, Eagle River and Edwards mines);
• Gowest Gold Ltd. (mining consultant, Bradshaw project);
• Sage Gold Inc. (mining consultant, Clavos mine);
• And more recently as chief executive officer/director of Voltage Metals Corp., where he led due diligence and mine planning for restarting a former 2,500-tonne-per-day nickel producer in the Timmins area.

Mr. Bresee's expertise spans narrow vein and bulk long hole mining, underground project development and restarts, permitting (particularly in Ontario), mine planning, budgeting, cost control, and production ramp-ups. He has managed multimillion-dollar budgets, infrastructure expansions (including shaft sinking and ramp development), mill operations and environmental processes. Notably, he previously served as project manager on Loyalist's flagship Tully gold project while with SGX Resources Inc.

Errol Farr, Loyalist's president and chief executive officer, commented: "I have gotten to know Bob well over the past year as a director of Loyalist and I am thrilled to welcome Bob into this key leadership role. His proven track record at companies like Kinross Gold, Klondex, Trelawney, Liberty Mines and more recently Voltage Metals, combined with his strong Timmins roots and deep familiarity with the Tully project, makes him an outstanding addition to management. Starting from the ground up as a miner in 1975 and rising through the ranks gives Bob a unique, practical perspective that will be instrumental as we advance Tully toward production and execute our 'Buy Timmins, Mine Timmins' strategy."

Bob Bresee, vice-president of operations, added: "I'm excited to step into the operations role at Loyalist at this important stage. I have been a miner all my life and I've always been passionate about the Timmins camp. My previous involvement with the Tully project gives me a strong appreciation for its potential. I look forward to applying my operational experience to help advance Tully through permitting and development and operations."
