Mawson Announces Appointment of John Jentz as Independent Director

Mr. Jentz is a seasoned mining professional and company director. During his 20+ year career in mining, Mr. Jentz has held roles across investment banking and mining corporates – most notably in recent positions of VP Corporate Development of Semafo Gold and Director of North American Palladium, each of which were acquired for ~C$1B in the last 3 years. He has a strong corporate strategy mindset, mining capital markets experience which spans institutional, HNW and retail investor bases, and a corporate finance skill base relevant across the capital structure.  Mr. Jentz has a HBSc (Actuarial) from the University of Western Ontario, and MBA from McMaster University and is both a Charted Accountant (CA) and Chartered Professional Accountant (CPA). He is currently the Lead Director of Consolidated Uranium Inc. (TSXV: CUR).

Pursuant to the Company’s Stock Option Plan and, in connection with Mr. Jentz’ appointment to the Board, Mr. Jentz has been granted incentive stock options to purchase 600,000 common shares of the Company, exercisable at a price of $0.15 per common share for a period of three years.

Mr. Fairhall, CEO, states “I am very pleased to welcome John to the Board. John brings decades of financial and mining experience overseeing real value creation and realization. These skills are complementary to Mawson’s strategy as it looks to build shareholder value from its unique asset portfolio which includes the 1.04 Moz AuEq Rajapalot project in Finland (PEA in-progress), Skellefteå North Gold project in Sweden and its 60% holding of ASX listed Southern Cross Gold Ltd. I look forward to John’s contributions during this exciting time for the Company.
