Black Dragon Gold announced the appointment of Mr. Dominic Roberts as Executive Chairman. Dominic has worked in the European mining sector for more than 15 years, permitting and building a number of underground mining operations, most notably Adriatic Metals PLC's world-class Vares silver mine. At Adriatic Metals he has been instrumental in designing and implementing the Company's sustainability strategy that was validated in 2019, when the European Bank for Reconstruction & Development made a substantial equity investment.

Prior to Adriatic Metals Dominic ran a private mining company, operating four base metal underground mines in the Balkans and permitting two new mines. During which time he also led a three-year European Union HORIZON 2020 funded research project, which focused on the rapid permitting and commissioning of critical metal mines. Dominic is also an industry advisor to the Union on their critical raw materials policy (culminating in the publication in March 2023 of the Union's first Critical Raw Materials Act which codified, amongst other matters, the primary extraction of critical and strategic metals by member states).

His appointment is one of several board and management changes including Paul Cronin moving from Non- Executive Chairman to Non-Executive Director and Gabriel Chiappini moving from Chief Executive Office/Managing Director to Non-Executive Director and Company Secretary.
