Clean Air Metals Inc. announced that Mr. Abraham Drost will no longer be continuing as CEO of the Company effective immediately. Mr. Jim Gallagher, who has served as Executive Chair since Clean Air Metals began to trade on the TSX Venture Exchange in early 2020 will assume the role of CEO on an interim basis while retaining the Executive Chair role. A search for a permanent CEO will commence in due course.

Mr. Gallagher is a mining engineer and experienced executive who most recently was CEO of North American Palladium with its single asset being the Lac des Iles Palladium mine located approximately 90 km north of Clean Air Metals' Thunder Bay North Critical Minerals Project. Mr. Gallagher assumed the CEO role in 2015 as the company emerged from a CCAA process and over the next 5 years led an operational and financial turn- around of the company culminating in the sale to Impala Platinum of South Africa at the end of 2019 for just under CAD 1 Billion.
