Montage Gold Corp. announced that Martino De Ciccio has been appointed as Chief Executive Officer. Martino has more than 15 years of experience in the mining industry with a strong value creation track record and profound understanding of the African mining landscape, having played key roles in building Endeavour Mining into a top 10 global gold producer and the largest in West Africa.

Martino brings significant knowledge across strategy, capital markets, corporate finance, and ESG while Peder brings considerable project development experience as he played a key role in successfully building the following West African gold mines: Ity and Agbaou in Côte d'Ivoire, Houndé in Burkina Faso, and Nzema in Ghana, in addition to being the project director for Fekola in Mali prior to its sale to B2Gold. Martino most recently served as Deputy CFO and Head of Investor Relations at Endeavour Mining (LSE: EDV, TSX: EDV), a position he assumed in January 2023. He joined Endeavour Mining in 2015 as Vice President, Strategy and Investor relations and played a pivotal role in Endeavour's transformation from a $250 million market cap company to a FTSE100 listed company and one of the largest gold producers in the world.

During this time, he garnered more than 25 investor relations achievement nominations, including numerous awards for best-in-class investor relations in the gold industry and across all sectors. Prior to joining Endeavour, Martino played a key role in growing La Mancha Resources from a $20 million market cap which culminated into a $500 million take-private offer. As Strategy and Business Development Manager, he then helped lead the private company's transformation from an emerging gold producer into one of the largest gold investment funds with cornerstone holdings in Evolution Mining and Endeavour, which was recognized with an Emerging Leader Award.

Martino currently serves on the Board of Directors of Northisle Copper and Gold and Bluestone Resources (BSR: TSXV). Martino earned a B.Com in Finance from McGill University in Montreal, Canada and is a CFA charterholder. Richard Clark, co-founder and current CEO, will step down from his CEO role and will remain as a Director of the Company.
