Shareholders approved all of the matters presented for approval at the Meeting, including the re-election of each of the existing directors to serve as a director of the Company until the next annual meeting of shareholders or until his successor is otherwise elected or appointed.

Mr. Jon Indall has close to 40 years of experience in natural resources, environmental law, and administrative law, which has made a profound impact on these domains.

Mr. Indall adeptly represented clients engaged in site remediation activities, including superfund sites. Mr. Indall recently served on the Advisory Board of American Future Fuel providing extensive insights and expertise playing a pivotal advisory role, shaping the corporation’s strategic environmental decisions.
A revered figure in the uranium mining industry, Mr. Indall has actively engaged in both representation and legislative activities, playing a role in shaping federal energy laws and policies. His representation portfolio spanned a diverse range of natural resource clients, including hardrock mining companies, natural gas pipeline entities, oil and gas supply firms, and water disposal companies. His impressive educational background includes a J.D. from the University of Kansas in 1974 and a B.A. from the same institution in 1971.
Mr. Michael Henrichsen is the CEO of Goldshore Resources and is a director of Dolly Varden Silver Corp. As a professional geologist, Mr. Henrichsen has over 20 years of experience in the mining industry in senior management roles in both junior and major companies and brings a broad range of global experience. Notably, his work at Newmont Corporation significantly increased reserves and resources in the Ahafo district in Ghana, and he has contributed extensively to other major gold camps in Peru, Nevada, Guinea, and Canada. In the past 10 years, Mr. Henrichsen, in the role of Chief Geological Officer, has been a part of management teams that have built a portfolio of properties that form the basis of Fury Gold Mines Ltd., Torq Resources Inc., and Tier One Silver Inc. Mr. Henrichsen holds a B.Sc. (Geology) from the University of Calgary, and an M.Sc. (Structural Geology) from the University of British Columbia.
Colin Healey, CEO of PUR commented, “We are excited to welcome two highly experienced members to our Board upon closing of the Arrangement with American Future Fuel and appreciate the overwhelming support of shareholders. Both Jon Indall and Michael Henrichsen will provide unique and valuable insight to the PUR management team, further strengthening our Board. We look forward to building on our core ‘Acquire, Explore, Develop’ strategy in 2024 and beyond, working toward commencement of drill programs in both Wyoming (Cyclone) and New Mexico (Cebolleta) in 2024. We look forward to providing additional details on these programs in coming weeks.”
