Robert succeeds John McVicar, who is retiring after 3 years with the Company. John served Ion Energy through its foundational phase as a junior mining company.

Ion Energy's management is grateful for Mr. McVicar's leadership over the last 3 years and wishes him well in retirement.

Joseph is currently the Managing Director and Head of Investment Banking at Laurentian Bank Securities Inc. where he oversees the investment banking practice in entirety. Mr Gallucci holds the ICD.D designation.

Ali Haji, CEO & Director of Ion Energy has remarked, "Our Company continues to attract support from highly-credible and talented leaders from the mining and capital markets sectors. To have had this calibre of talent through the early years, and to now welcome new perspectives is the natural progression of a successful and growing mining entity like Ion Energy. Our team is delighted to welcome Mr. Payment and Mr. Gallucci. Joseph's appointment to ION's Board reinforces our commitment for value creation for stakeholders. We eagerly anticipate his contributions in propelling our company towards a prosperous future."
