Felix Gold's Chairman, Ronnie Beevor , commented: 'We are very pleased to welcome Blair Way to the Board. Blair is a highly respected mining executive whose leadership at Patriot Battery Metals was instrumental in the discovery and rapid expansion of the Shaakichiuwaanaan lithium system in Quebec , now the largest hard-rock lithium resource in North America . Blair brings a rare combination of discovery insight, development experience and capital markets leadership. His appointment significantly strengthens the Board as Felix advances its high-grade antimony opportunities toward near-term development while continuing to unlock the substantial gold potential across our dominant landholding in the Fairbanks Gold District . I would also like to sincerely thank Mark Strizek for his valuable contribution to Felix Gold . Mark has played an important role during a critical phase of the Company's evolution, helping to position Felix for its transition from exploration toward near-term production. We wish him every success as he focuses on the next stage of development at Aurum Resources .' Mr Blair Way commented: ' Felix Gold offers a compelling combination of near-term critical mineral development and large-scale gold growth in one of the most established mining districts in the United States . As the largest landholder in the Fairbanks Gold District , with a dominant contiguous position adjacent to Kinross Gold's Fort Knox operation, Felix is well positioned to continue growing its gold resource base in an area where additional ore supply is actively sought. At the same time, Felix's high-grade antimony mineralisation, simple mineralogy and existing infrastructure in Alaska provide a realistic and credible pathway to near-term development. The ability to advance a compact, low-footprint operation and integrate quickly into a U.S. -based supply chain is increasingly important given current national security and defence priorities. It was this combination of scale, development readiness and strategic relevance that attracted me to Felix. I look forward to working with the Board and management team to help guide the next phase of execution, support strategic and government engagement, and unlock value through disciplined development planning and capital markets experience.'
