Mr. Power, LLB, is an internationally ranked and former practising lawyer. Mr. Power has extensive experience serving in governance roles with publicly listed exploration and mining companies with Canadian and international assets, including as chairman and special committee member. He is the former chief executive officer of Privateer Gold Ltd., a private gold exploration company in British Columbia, and director of Bond Resources Inc. He was also the chair and president of Canada's largest charitable granting foundation, Ontario Trillium Foundation, where charitable granting increased from $12-million to $100-million annually during his tenure. Mr. Power successfully facilitated the ISO international technical committee, which led to the international acceptance of ISO Standard 14015 -- Environmental Assessment of Sites and Organizations. He is a recipient of the Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee medal for having made a significant contribution to Canada.

Terry Harbort, president and CEO, stated:

"We are very pleased to be adding directors of such calibre to Talisker's board. Both Christy and Robert have extensive experience in the mining industry of British Columbia and bring a strong ESG [environmental, social and governance] skillset to the Talisker board. I believe they will both be a great complement to the Talisker team.

"We would like to thank Brent for his nearly four-year tenure as a Talisker director. We are very pleased that Brent will be continuing his association with the company through an advisory role."
