(TSXV: POR) (OTC Pink: PFFOF) (FSE: POTA) (“Portofino” or the “Company“) is pleased to announce the appointment of Mr. Rodney Campbell to its board of directors and to the role of Interim CEO. Concurrent with Mr. Campbell’s appointment, Mr. David Tafel has resigned from the Company’s board of directors and his role as President & CEO. Mr. Tafel will continue to be involved with the Company as a strategic advisor.
Mr. Campbell is a seasoned professional with extensive expertise in financial services and the energy sector. He previously served as a Financial Advisor at BMO Nesbitt Burns, where he developed strong client relationships and an in-depth knowledge of the finance industry. Complementing this, Mr. Campbell brings 17 years of hands-on experience in the oil and gas sector, during which he oversaw procurement and fuel business development for leading companies, including Encana, Apache Corporation, Canadian Hunter Exploration, Elbow River Resources, ERS, and MP Energy.

Mr. Campbell commented: “I am excited to join Portofino and work with the Team to unlock the value of its portfolio of projects, and on behalf of the Board, I would like to personally thank Mr. Tafel for his significant efforts and valuable contributions through a time of extreme turbulence in the critical and precious metals commodity cycles. It’s been a period of unprecedented upheaval for issuers and investors alike, and I look forward to building on Mr. Tafel’s efforts with the Company’s potentially high-grade Yergo Lithium Project located 9km from Zijin’s production stage 3Q Project in Catamarca (Argentina), and the South of Otter Project also located 9km east of Kinross’s development stage Great Bear Project near Red Lake (Ontario, Canada).”
The continuing directors of the Company are Mr. Rodney Campbell, Mr. Jeremy Wright, Mr. Stephen Wilkinson and Mr. Brian Crawford.
