Mr. McClelland started his career at KPMG LLP as a Senior Accountant with the Mining Group.

Concurrently, the Company announces that Jason Attew has stepped down as a director. Mr. Attew has been a director of the Company since 2019. The Company would like to thank Mr. Attew for his valuable contributions during his time on the Board.

John Black, CEO of Regulus, commented as follows: “When Jason took the position of CEO at Gold Standard Ventures in December 2020, we were disappointed to learn that he would have to step down from the Regulus Board in order to conform with governance guidelines for CEOs serving on outside boards. We are fortunate, however, to welcome Michael to the Regulus Board in Jason’s place. Michael’s extensive experience in both finance and operations will benefit the Company as we continue to advance the AntaKori project. I would like to personally thank Jason for his time on our Board and welcome Michael to our team.”

The Company has granted options to Mr. McClelland to purchase 200,000 shares at $0.89 per share for a period of five years, in accordance with the Company’s Stock Option Plan.
