TORONTO, ON / ACCESSWIRE / July 29, 2022 / E2Gold Inc. (TSXV:ETU) (OTCQB:ETUGF) (the "Company" or "E2Gold") is pleased to announce two new additions to the company's corporate and management team, with Carmelo Marrelli joining as its Chief Financial Officer and Jeff Pritchard joining E2Gold's Board of Directors.

David Good, Chairman of E2Gold, said, "Both Carmelo and Jeff bring extensive experience and considerable success in their respective fields within the junior mining world. We have worked with both for a long time." Mr. Good continued, "These additions add efficiencies and strength to E2Gold as it positions itself for a turnaround in the mining markets."

Mr. Marrelli, who replaces Erik Martin as the Company's CFO, is Principal of The Marrelli Group, a financial services company, and brings more than 20 years of financial controls and reporting experience with him.

In other matters, Natalie Pietrzak-Renaud has resigned her role as Vice President, Exploration for personal reasons. The Company expresses its gratitude to both Natalie, and Erik Martin, for their professionalism and their roles in E2Gold's early development and wishes them well.
