Tearlach Appoints David Flint as Director of the Company and President of Pan Am Lithium (Nevada) Corp; Charles Ross appointed as Interim CEO

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, May 11, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Tearlach Resources Limited (TSXV: TEA) (OTC: TELHF) (FRANKFURT: V44) (“Tearlach” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce the immediate appointment of David Flint as a Director of the Company and President of Pan Am Lithium (Nevada) Corp., the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, whereby Mr. Flint will lead the Company’s exploration in Nevada. Charles Ross has been appointed as interim CEO. Mr. Flint has led the Gabriel exploration team, spearheading the development and execution of the current exploration plan, which has consistently advanced the Company’s Nevada project.

With an extensive background as a metals geologist, Mr. Flint boasts over 35 years of invaluable experience. Most recently, he served as the VP of Exploration for Allied Nevada Gold, where he successfully directed exploration programs that led to a substantial increase of 10 million ounces of gold and 450 million ounces of silver in the published reserves of the Hycroft Mine. Additionally, Mr. Flint skillfully managed various technical studies that supported mine plans and the Feasibility Study. Notably, he played a pivotal role in establishing reserves and publishing 43-101 Technical reports for the Hasbrouck Mountain Project. During his 20-year tenure at Freeport McMoRan, Mr. Flint held several positions, including project Geologist for the discovery, exploration, development, and early production of the Grasberg Deposit in Irian Jaya, Indonesia. The geologic resources defined during this initial two-year period amounted to approximately 500 million tonnes, with grades of 1.50% copper and 1.50 g/t gold. He also made significant contributions in underground Mine Geology, Mine Planning, Raise Miner supervision, and Expansion Studies, playing a key role in seven mine studies that were successfully brought into production. Moreover, Mr. Flint has extensive experience in precious-metal exploration, having worked with renowned companies such as Rio Tinto and Freeport McMoRan in the Western United States and Panama. His areas of expertise encompass the geology of epigenetic hydrothermal deposits (epithermal gold and porphyry copper), multi-dimensional orebody characterization, Block Cave Mine design, and Technical Project Management. Mr. Flint holds Bachelor and Master of Science degrees in Geology and is a Certified Professional Geologist with the American Institute of Professional Geologists (AIPG). His leadership has been instrumental in guiding the exploration team on the Gabriel Project in Nevada.

Mr. Ross has more than 30 years of experience in the international resource sector, much of it focused on senior project and financial management. He has served as a director, president, and chief financial officer of numerous public resource companies and has extensive experience in corporate finance and public company administration.

Mr. Lekstrom has resigned for personal reasons as President, CEO and Director of Tearlach and will continue as a Director of Pan Am Lithium (Nevada) Corp., which holds the Gabriel Project. Tearlach will work with Mr. Lekstrom to identify strategic options to maximize shareholder value from The Gabriel Project, while Tearlach’s VP Exploration, Dr. Selway, concurrently advances the Canadian projects through discovery phases. This could give shareholders the added benefit of two opportunities in two mining friendly jurisdictions with respective lithium experts in each country. The Company greatly appreciates the involvement of Mr. Lekstrom in the growth of the Company and looks forward to his continued assistance as a Director of Pan Am Lithium (Nevada) Corp.

The Company also announces that Paul Chow has resigned from the Company's board of directors so that he can focus his attention on his current obligations. We thank him for his contribution to the Company and wish him the best in his future endeavours.
