MARATHON GOLD ANNOUNCES APPOINTMENT OF TIM WILLIAMS AS CHIEF OPERATING OFFICER

Marathon Gold Corp. has appointed Tim Williams as chief operating officer, effective July 13, 2020.

Mr. Williams is a professional engineer with over 25 years of experience in mine construction and operation. Between 2011 and 2016 he served as vice-president of operations for Rio Alto Mining Inc. and subsequently Tahoe Resources Inc., during which time he was responsible for the construction, ramp-up and successful operation of the La Arena gold mine in Peru and the construction of the nearby Shahuindo gold mine. La Arena and Shahuindo are currently operated by Pan American Silver Corp.

Prior to Rio Alto, Mr. Williams served in a series of progressively more senior technical and project management roles including at the El Brocal and Marcona mines in Peru for mining contractor Stracon SAC, the Geita mine in Tanzania for AngloGold Ashanti, and the Leintster and McArthur River mines in Australia for Western Mining Corp. and Mount Isa Mines Ltd., respectively. Most recently, Mr. Williams served as executive vice-president and chief operating officer for Rio2 Ltd. responsible for the development of the Fenix gold project in Chile.

Mr. Williams holds a master's degree in mining geomechanics, a bachelor's degree in mining and economic geology, and a postgraduate diploma in mining, all from Curtin University, Western Australian School of Mines. He is a fellow of the Australasian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy.

Matt Manson, president and chief executive officer, commented: "We are very happy to welcome Tim Williams to the Marathon team. As COO, Tim will have overall responsibility for the development, ramp-up and operation of the Valentine gold project in central Newfoundland. Tim brings a strong track record in project development and construction, with both La Arena and Shahuindo being established as successful, large-scale gold mines under his management. Importantly, he also brings direct, hands-on experience in open-pit mining operations as both a geotechnical engineer and mining contractor, key skillsets for success at the Valentine gold project. As we move forward with our environmental assessment and feasibility-level engineering studies at the Valentine gold project, we expect to announce additional appointments to our mine development team with a view to a potential construction decision by late 2021."
