Patriot Resources appoints Diego Cillóniz as a Non-Executive Director

Patriot Resources Limited is pleased to announce the appointment of Mr Diego Cillóniz as a Non-Executive Director of the Company, effective immediately.

The Company is pleased to appoint Mr Diego Cillóniz as a Non-Executive Director. Diego is a Peruvian corporate lawyer with more than 20 years’ experience representing foreign investors in Peru, with a particular focus on the mining and oil & gas sectors. His appointment strengthens the Company’s in-country governance, legal and regulatory capabilities as Patriot advances its flagship Tassa High-Grade Gold-Silver Project in Peru.

Diego holds a Master’s degree in Mining and Natural Resources Law from the University of Denver – Colorado, Sturm College of Law, and a law degree from the Universidad de Lima. He has been a member of the Lima Bar Association since 2006.

Prior to founding Cillóniz & Valencia Abogados, Diego worked as an associate specialising in mining and natural resources law at Estudio Grau Abogados (now CMS Grau) and Miranda & Amado Abogados – two of Peru’s most prominent law firms. He also held a regional-level position with a multinational mining company prior to establishing his own practice.

His expertise spans mining law, regulatory approvals, employment law and community relations, providing Patriot with valuable in-country legal insight as it progresses its Peruvian operations at Tassa.

Coinciding with this appointment, Mr Phil Thick has resigned as Non-Executive Director to facilitate the appointment of an additional Peru-based director. The Board thanks Mr Thick for his valuable contribution and guidance during his tenure, and wishes him well in his future endeavours.

Patriot Chairman, Mr Hugh Warner commented:

“The appointment of Diego Cillóniz as a Peru-based Non-Executive Director is a significant step for Patriot. Diego brings deep expertise in Peruvian mining law, regulatory frameworks and community engagement, and will be an invaluable advisor as we continue to establish and grow our presence in the country.

His appointment comes at a critical time as we advance the high-grade Tassa Gold-Silver Project, and his in-country legal and regulatory expertise will be central to our Peruvian strategy.

I would also like to thank Phil Thick for his support and contribution – Phil has been a trusted sounding board to me.”
