MONTREAL, July 09, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Troilus Gold Corp. ('Troilus' or the 'Company') (TSX: TLG; OTCQX: CHXMF; FSE: CM5R) is pleased to announce the appointment of Mr. Rob Doyle as Strategic Advisor to the CEO and Chairman, effective August 1, 2025. A highly respected executive in the global mining sector, Mr. Doyle will provide strategic, financial and operational guidance as the copper-gold Troilus Project advances toward construction and long-term production.
Mr. Doyle brings more than 25 years of experience in international mining finance, corporate strategy and project development. He is best known as an executive and long-time Chief Financial Officer of Pan American Silver Corp., where over an 18-year tenure he helped grow the company from inception to a multi-billion-dollar producer, building multiple mines and leading numerous large-scale M&A transactions. Most recently, he served as CFO of SilverCrest Metals Inc., acquired by Coeur Mining in a $1.7 billion transaction earlier this year. Earlier in his career, he was the Senior Vice President of Mining Finance and Metals Marketing for Standard Bank, where he structured financing and advisory transactions for mining companies across the Americas.
In his advisory role, Mr. Doyle will work closely with the Company's executive and finance teams to help ensure operational readiness, robust internal controls, and disciplined financial strategy as Troilus transitions into its next phase of growth. His mandate includes strategic support on financial governance, project financing, risk management, and systems optimization - all with the goal of ensuring the Company is well-positioned for construction and beyond.
Justin Reid, CEO of Troilus, commented, 'Rob's experience speaks for itself - he has been at the helm of some of the most successful mine builds and financings in our industry and his perspective will be invaluable as we finalize our development plans and prepare to execute. Having Rob on board strengthens our internal capacity and sharpens our focus as we aim to build one of the next major Canadian copper-gold producers. We're thrilled to have him join our team at this pivotal time.'
Mr. Doyle currently serves as a board member and Audit Chair of several TSX and NYSE-listed mining companies, and was named BC CFO of the Year (Large Public Company) by Business in Vancouver in 2019. He holds a B.Bus.Sc in Finance from the University of Cape Town, is a Chartered Accountant (SA), CFA charterholder, and holds the ICD.D designation from the Institute of Corporate Directors.
Troilus is advancing one of Canada's largest undeveloped gold-copper projects in Quebec. With a Feasibility Study completed in 2024 and the Environmental and Social Impact Assessment submitted last month, the Company is targeting a construction decision in 2026. Key project financing milestones are advancing in parallel, including an indicative offtake agreement with leading European smelter, Aurubis, as part of a structured project financing process led by a syndicate of international financial institutions (see press releases from March 13, 2025, June 18, 2025).
