The Company is pleased to announce that it has appointed Mr.

feeds.
"Martin Vydra's nickel-related experience is almost unparalleled
in the industry and we are extremely pleased he has agreed to join
the URU Advisory Board," said URU Metals CEO, John Zorbas. "As
witnessed in the electric vehicle industry, the demand for minerals
such as nickel and cobalt will continue to increase and we will
rely heavily on Martin's experience as we seek to increase our
activities in that sector."
While at Sherritt, Mr. Vydra's technical accomplishments spanned
four continents and over 20 operations - including postings in
Australia, where he was integrated in Murrin Murrin's refinery
start up; Finland, for the design of Harjavalta's nickel reduction
circuit; and in Chile, where he oversaw the design, construction,
and commissioning of a major pressure oxidation operation. Martin
