The Company further announces the appointment of Ms. Noora Ahola to the role of Interim CEO. Ms. Ahola joined Mawson in 2014 as Manager Environment, and has served as the Company’s Environmental Director since 2016 and was appointed as Managing Director of the Company’s wholly owned Finnish subsidiary, Mawson Oy, in 2020.  Ms. Ahola’s skills and technical experience has been instrumental in the day-to-day local operations in Finland.  Working together with the Company’s management and technical teams, Ms. Ahola’s appointment as the Company’s Interim CEO ensures minimal disruption in operations and continued focus on the long-term growth of the Company and its projects.

Mr. Michael Hudson, Executive Chairman, comments, “On behalf of the Board, I would like to thank Ivan for his commitment and service to Mawson as CEO and Director, during which time we have successfully demonstrated the value already discovered at Rajapalot with the October 2022 PEA and undergone significant corporate transition with the spin out of Mawson’s Australian assets into Southern Cross Gold Ltd. (ASX:SXG). We look forward to working with him as a consultant and wish him well in his future endeavors.

“We are very pleased to be appointing Noora to the role of Interim CEO. Noora not only leads Mawson’s Finland operation, but is also an industry leader in the field of ESG and regulatory affairs. She will continue to grow and advance the Rajapalot gold-cobalt project to be not only a significant EU gold asset, but also a rare source domestically produced cobalt, critical to aid in the EU’s stated energy transition objectives.”
