(TSXV: CUI) ("Currie Rose" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the appointment of Mr. Simon Coyle as the new President, CEO and Director of the Company, effective July 10th, ushering in a new era for Currie Rose.

Mr. Coyle has held several senior operational management positions in a range of commodities including gold, iron ore, manganese and lithium. Prior to joining Currie Rose, Simon held the position of Head of Port and Operational Development, and before that, General Manager of Operations for Pilbara Minerals' hard-rock lithium operation, Pilgangoora, where he oversaw a team of approximately 650 people and successfully led the development and expansion of the operation to become a major producer of spodumene concentrate.

"It is an honour to be appointed President and CEO of Currie Rose. I am excited for the opportunity to work with Mike and the directors as we continue to evolve the company and the North Queensland Vanadium Project. I see the role as an excellent opportunity to rapidly drive innovation and efficiency in the energy storage space.
We will continue to focus on the development of the North Queensland Vanadium Project as well as the recently acquired Kotai Energy company and its Hydrogen research project1. Both projects will be pivotal as Australia and the world rightly advance toward green energy alternatives and Net Zero Carbon."
Mr. Coyle's experience and expertise with putting mines into production, specifically as it relates to critical minerals, will be extremely valuable for Currie Rose and its NQV Project as it moves forward to the pre-feasibility stage.
Outgoing President and CEO Mike Griffiths added:
"We are excited to welcome Simon to Currie Rose, and we will greatly benefit from his vast operational experience in critical minerals.
