announce the appointment of Ms Laura Tyler as a Non-Executive
Director, effective from 1 July 2024.
Ms Tyler has a wealth of industry
knowledge with over 30 years' experience in mining, and is a
specialist in technical, technology and safety applications for
Tier 1 projects globally. Her 20-year career at BHP Limited ("BHP")

silver-lead-zinc mine.
She has worked across the Americas,
Australia, UK and Africa, principally in base metals, diamonds,
aluminium and iron ore.
Ms Tyler's skills were honed by her
extensive education and qualifications, which include Harvard
Business School, as well as a graduate of the Australian Institute
of Directors, Women & Leadership Australia, a MSc in Mining
Engineering from Camborne School of Mines, and a BSc in Geology
from Cardiff University. Her significant credentials in
sustainability include sitting on the Board of the Australian
Federal Government Net Zero Economy Agency (current), heading up
the Diversity Committee at the Mining Council Australia Workforce
Committee, as well as numerous international leadership roles
within the Women in Mining organisation.
In her capacity as a Non-Executive
Director, Ms Tyler will initially serve on the Sustainability
Committee and the Remuneration & Nomination
Committee.
The appointment of Ms Tyler is in
line with Adriatic's process of strengthening the Board as it
accelerates its evolution to becoming a leading European producer
of critical metals.
Commenting on the Board appointment, Michael Rawlinson,
Chairman of Adriatic, commented:
"Laura Tyler is a very welcome addition to the Board,
providing exceptional knowledge of not only the technical
complexities of mining and producing from polymetallic orebodies,
but also the embracing and implementing the latest cutting-edge
technologies in the mining industry. This unique offering, along
with her understanding of the highest levels of safety, governance
and diversity, aligns perfectly with Adriatic's corporate ethos and
focus on sustainable and modern mining in Europe. I and the rest of
the Board and management are excited to be working with Laura as we
embark upon the next phase of our growth strategy and ramp up to
commercial production and beyond."
