Adventus Mining Announces Board Adjustments and Increased Insider Ownership

Adventus Mining Corporation (“Adventus” or the “Company) (TSX-V: ADZN, OTCQX: ADVZF – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HR9WfzsvVe0&t=14s ) announces adjustments to its board of directors to better comply with corporate governance guidelines and to reflect internal business changes to some of our strategic shareholders.

Mark Wellings, one of Adventus’ original independent directors, will take over the role of Chairman of Adventus, with Brian Dalton, Adventus’s founding Chairman and current President and CEO of Altius Minerals Corporation (“Altius”) announcing his intention to not stand for re-election at the Company’s upcoming AGM being planned for June 2021. Brian expects to continue in his role as a non-independent director of Adventus until that time and subsequently has agreed to remain available as needed as an advisor to the Company.  

Brian Dalton commented, “I am very proud to have played a role in the founding and development of the Company over these past several years but due to increasing time commitments related to other parts of Altius’s business, I believe it is in the best governance level interest of Adventus that I now step back into a less intensive role. This decision has been made easier by my complete confidence in Mark, Christian and the full board and management teams to execute on strategies and to represent the interests of all shareholders, including Altius, in a most able fashion going forward.  I will continue to remain available in an advisory capacity once my current board term expires and can further convey that Altius intends to continue to be an enthusiastic and supportive major shareholder of Adventus as its impressive business development record continues to build.”

The Company also announces that Roberto Salas will replace Roberto Dunn as Consorcio Nobis nominee to the Adventus board subject to TSX-V approval. Mr. Salas recently succeeded Roberto Dunn as the CEO of Nobis. Roberto is an Ecuadorian-born economist, and former CEO and board member of several multinational corporations in Chile and Brazil. He is currently the Vice Chairman and CEO of Consorcio Nobis, editorial provider to Ecuador’s El Comercio and AméricaEconomia.com, and a professor of management at the Catholic University of Guayaquil-Ecuador. Roberto has an MBA from Esade-Adolfo Ibáñez Business School, and he studied management programs at Wharton and Kellogg Business Schools."

The Company’s also notes that insiders of the Corporation have acquired more than 1.25 million shares of Adventus over the past month and that incoming director Mr. Salas has in particular acquired 782,500 shares of Adventus for his personal account. 

Mark Wellings commented, “The Board and I would like to thank Brian for his foresight, passion and expertise in founding Adventus several years ago and his stewardship as Chairman throughout the last few years. Brian was instrumental in championing our current management team and exceptional asset base in Ecuador. Furthermore, the Board and I would also like to thank Roberto Dunn for his unwavering service and support over the last 20 months, including his public markets outreach and Ecuadorian insight.”
