Talisman Mining Ltd. announced the appointment of highly regarded mining executive and geologist, Andrew Munckton, to the newly created role of Managing Director, effective immediately. The appointment forms part of a rationalisation of Talisman's senior management team, with the position of Chief Executive Officer being made redundant following the Board's decision to appoint a Managing Director with strong technical and geological experience. As a result, Mr. Shaun Vokes will step down from the role of CEO after more than seven years with Talisman.

Mr. Munckton is an experienced geologist who has held senior management roles with a number of ASX-listed companies in a career spanning more than 30 years. Most recently, Andrew has spent the past five years as Managing Director of gold exploration and development company, Kin Mining, where he oversaw the delineation of a 1.54Moz Mineral Resource at the Cardinia Gold Project, located in the Leonora region of the Eastern Goldfields region of Western Australia. Earlier in his career, Mr. Munckton has also held the roles of Managing Director of Syndicated Metals and Avalon Minerals, General Manager - Operations for Gindalbie Metals, General Manager Strategic Development of Placer Dome Asia Pacific and General Manager Operations of the Kanowna Belle, Paddington and Kundana gold mines over a period of 10 years.

He holds a Bachelor of Science (Geology) from the University of Western Australia and is a Member of the Australasian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy (AusIMM) and the Australian Institute of Company Directors (AICD). The Board of Talisman would like to take this opportunity to acknowledge Mr. Vokes' significant contribution to Talisman and to wish him well for the future. Mr. Vokes initially joined Talisman as Chief Financial Officer and Company Secretary in 2016, before transitioning to Chief Executive Officer in 2020.
