Ms Dhir, who is based in Toronto, Canada, will join the Company's Audit, Nomination, and Sustainability Committees as a member of each.

Ms Dhir currently serves as a non-executive director on the Board of TSX-listed Montage Gold Corp. and TSX/NYSE-listed Taseko Mines Limited. Over the last decade, Ms Dhir's board positions have included Lead Non-Executive Director for Lomiko Metals Inc., Non-Executive Director of Golden Star Resources Ltd, in addition to other Canadian listed companies.

Ms Dhir has over 20 years' experience in the resources sector, most recently, as a co-founder and executive of ZinQ Mining, a private base and precious metals company which focuses on the Latin American Region. Prior to ZinQ Mining, Ms Dhir was Vice President, Corporate Development and Corporate Secretary at Katanga Mining Limited.

Ms Dhir is considered to meet the requirements to be classified as an independent director under the UK Corporate Governance Code.

After the Company's Annual General Meeting on 18 May 2023, the Company carried out a consultation with shareholders in accordance with Provision 4 of the 2018 UK Corporate Governance Code. Engagement with shareholders confirmed concerns had been addressed by taking Mr Davidson off each of the governance Committees in order to re-establish Committee composition being solely independent. We thank Mr Davidson for his committed service on those Committees. With the addition of Ms Dhir serving on each of the Audit, Nomination and Sustainability Committees going forward, Ms Dhir's independence and skill set will enhance and strengthen each Committee's capabilities.

Commenting on Ms Dhir's appointment, Executive Chairman, Jamie Boyton, said:

"We welcome Anu to our Board as an Independent Non-Executive Director. She further strengthens our Board capabilities with a wealth of experience in the resources sector both in Africa and also across the Americas, with Capital's business now growing strongly in North America."
