E-Tech Resources Inc. (TSXV: REE) (FSE: K2I) ("E-Tech" or the "Company") announces the appointment of Patrick McGrath as Chief Financial Officer, effective August 26, 2025, following the retirement of Rob Randall.

"Rob concludes a career of more than 40 years, including the past four years as E-Tech's CFO," said Christopher Drysdale, CEO of E-Tech Resources. "During this time, he maintained strong financial controls, supported the Company through periods of change, and provided steady advice. On behalf of the Board, I want to thank Rob for his service to the Company. His professionalism and guidance have made a lasting contribution, and we wish him well in his retirement."

Mr. McGrath has over 25 years of experience in the junior resource sector. He was previously the Chief Executive Officer of Blue Moon Metals Inc. from April 2017 to November 2024, a company focused on advancing the Blue Moon deposit in the United States. He also served as the Chief Financial Officer and later Chief Executive Officer of Cub Energy Inc. (now Carcetti Capital Corp.) from 2011 to 2023, when it was a producing oil and gas company focused on eastern Europe. Mr. McGrath holds a Bachelor of Commerce degree from Memorial University and is a Chartered Professional Accountant (CPA) in Canada.

As the Company reported in its press release dated August 12, 2025, the terms of EPL 8748 have been amended to include nuclear fuels as a designated commodity. This amendment allows the Company to assess the broader potential of its licences across multiple commodities. While E-Tech continues to advance its REE project, the inclusion of nuclear fuels also provides scope to evaluate for other commodities and mineral prospects, that are recognized as important inputs for decarbonization and the green economy.

This development allows the Company to consider a parallel exploration approach as technical work progresses. Further updates on exploration activities and planned work will be provided in due course.
