Citizens Financial Group Names Aunoy Banerjee of Barclays as Chief Financial Officer
Banerjee will join Citizens on October 24. As previously announced, current CFO John Woods will depart the bank on August 15. Chris Emerson, EVP and Head of Corporate Planning & Enterprise Finance, will serve as CFO during the interim period.
"Aunoy is a seasoned leader with a broad background and strong record of accomplishment over his career,' said Van Saun. 'His experience in leading finance functions at multiple large financial institutions and overseeing highly complex transformation and optimization programs positions him well to have immediate impact as we execute our ambitious growth and transformation agenda.'
Said Banerjee: 'I could not be more excited to be joining Citizens to help drive sustainable growth and value for all of its stakeholders. The Bank has been on an exciting and transformational journey, and I look forward to partnering with Bruce and the leadership team to help take Citizens to the next level.'
A 25-year financial services veteran, Banerjee will have responsibility for the Financial Planning and Analysis, Business Line Finance Groups, Controller, Investor Relations, Treasury, Tax, and Capital Management functions, as well as Property & Procurement.
Prior to Barclays, Banerjee served in a number of increasingly responsible finance and transformation roles at State Street over eight years, most recently as Head of Investments & Third Party Management and Chair of State Street India. He also served as Chief Transformation Officer and prior to that ran Corporate FP&A and oversaw the CFO functions within its business units. He previously spent 11 years at Citi with several roles of increasing importance, including Business Unit CFO for Capital Markets and Securities Services, Finance Head of CCAR and Head of Corporate Forecasting and Planning. He began his professional career at General Electric as part of its Finance Management Leadership Program.
Highlights of Banerjee's broad experience include overseeing a £1.1 trillion balance sheet at Barclays Bank PLC and co-leading the firm's sweeping investment bank simplification initiative. At State Street, he oversaw the firm's $100 billion-plus investment portfolio and its balance sheet funding position. Additionally, as Chief Transformation Officer, he led an enterprise-wide transformation aimed at simplifying operations, increasing operating margin and productivity, and boosting both organic and inorganic growth.

Noble Plains Uranium Closes on Duck Creek Project in the Heart of Powder River Basin
Exploration Target Range Supported by New NI 43-101 Technical Report Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - August 14, 2025) - Noble Plains Uranium Corp. (TSXV: NOBL) (OTCQB: NBLXF) (FSE: INE0) (" Noble Plains" or the " Company") is pleased to announce that it has closed on the property option agreement to acquire an 80% interest in the Duck Creek Project (" Duck Creek Property", " Duck Creek", the " Project", or the " Property"), a strategically located brownfield uranium asset in Wyoming's highly productive Powder River Basin (the " PRB"). The option closing coincides with a newly completed National Instrument 43-101 (" NI 43-101") technical report prepared for UNXE238 Corp. (the " Optionor") by independent firm Western Water Consultants, Inc d/b/a WWC Engineering of Sheridan, Wyoming (" WWC"). The report highlights an Exploration Target of between 2.37 million tons at 0.03% U₃O₈ and 5.45 million tons at a grade of 0.05% U₃O₈ based on historical drilling. The potential quantity and grade is conceptual in nature, that there has been insufficient exploration to define a mineral resource and that it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the target being delineated as a mineral resource. "This is a further example of our team executing on its strategy to identify high-quality brownfield assets in the best U.S. uranium districts, use strong historic data to accelerate de-risking, and advance them quickly toward compliant resources," said Drew Zimmerman, President of Noble Plains Uranium. "With Duck Creek now secured along with a new NI 43-101, we are positioned to rapidly deliver meaningful pounds in the ground, building real leverage for our shareholders as the uranium market continues to strengthen." Duck Creek Project Highlights Scale & Location: 4,133 acres (6.5 sq. mi.) of mineral rights, surrounded by major uranium projects and production facilities owned by Cameco, Uranium Energy Corp., Global Uranium and Enrichment, and GTI Energy, Extensive Historical Work: Over 4,000 drill holes, including a 3-mile trend of shallow roll-front uranium mineralization, Historic Drill Intercepts: include 8.9 feet grading 0.75% U₃O₈ and 13.9 feet of 0.47% U₃O₈, Historic Production: Past open-pit mining evident along and beyond the mineralized trend, Significant Exploration Potential: untested deeper Fort Union Formation. In the Heart of a Growing Production Corridor Located in one of the most prolific in-situ recovery (" ISR") uranium districts in the United States, Duck Creek is directly surrounded by major deposits and production facilities owned by Cameco Corporation, Uranium Energy Corp., and GTI Energy Limited (see Figure 1). The Project's extensive historical database, favourable geology, and proximity to existing infrastructure present a rare opportunity to advance a uranium project in a proven production hub. Figure 1: Duck Creek Project Surrounded by resource and production projects To view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit: Note: source of resource numbers in Figure 1: Allemand-Ross, Barge, and Ludeman projects, from 2022-09 technical report Exhibit 96.1. Smith Ranch Highland, from Cameco website. Lo Herma, from company website. Technical and scientific information disclosed from neighbouring properties does not necessarily apply to the Duck Creek Project. "From a geological perspective, Duck Creek has all the hallmarks of a highly attractive ISR project," said Paul Cowley, CEO of Noble Plains Uranium. "It is in a proven roll-front uranium district, with drill spacing and mineralization continuity that provide a strong basis for confirmation and expansion. We plan to initiate a focused drilling campaign this fall. Design and magnitude of the drill program is in progress with a drill permit application at an advanced stage." Duck Creek - A Strong Technical Foundation The Project covers 4,133 acres (6.5 mi²) of mineral rights, including four State of Wyoming mineral leases (2,560 acres) and 78 lode mining claims (1,573 acres). The Project hosts a 3-mile-long corridor of high-density drilling completed by Kerr-McGee Nuclear Corporation in the 1970s. A total of 4,068 historical drill holes outline a consistent, shallow roll-front uranium system within the Eocene-aged Wasatch Formation, with mineralization occurring from less than 50 feet to 260 feet below surface (see Figure 2). Highlights of the historical drill intercepts include 8.9 feet grading 0.75% U₃O₈ and 13.9 feet of 0.47% U₃O₈. Local historic open-pit mining is evident within and beyond the mineralized trend shown in Figure 2. The technical report was completed for UNXE238 Corp. by independent WWC, dated August 13, 2025, entitled "NI 43-101 Technical Report Duck Creek Uranium Project" (" Technical Report") which states that the Project potentially contains an Exploration Target summarized in Table 1. The Technical Report will be Sedar filed today and made available on the Company website. Table 1. Duck Creek Uranium Project Exploration Target Upper Range Estimate Methodology Average Grade (% U 3 O 8) Median GT Sum (% U 3 O 8 -ft) Area (ft 2) Tons (000s) Mineral Outline 0.05 0.598 5,895,866 4,241 Extended Trend 0.05 - - 1,205 Total 5,446 Lower Range Estimate Methodology First Quartile Grade (% U 3 O 8) Minimum GT Sum (% U 3 O 8 -ft) Area (ft 2) Tons (000s) Mineral Outline 0.03 0.201 5,895,866 2,373 Total 2,373 The potential quantity and grade at the Project are conceptual in nature, that it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the target being delineated as a mineral resource and there is insufficient data to estimate a mineral resource. Drill holes with intercepts with Grade-Thickness (GT) sum less than 0.2 %-ft were excluded. A bulk density of 16.6 ft3/ton was used. The average thickness of each intercept with GT greater than 0.2%-ft within the mineral outline is 7 ft. The total number of intercepts within the mineral outline area is 1,317 and the average cumulative intercept thickness per drillhole is 11.8 ft. Figure 2: 3-mile-long trend of high-density historic drilling and historic production areas To view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit: Untested Upside in the Fort Union Formation The historical drilling at Duck Creek focused exclusively on shallow mineralization in the Wasatch Formation. The deeper Fort Union Formation remains completely untested on the property. This lower unit hosts the bulk of resources at several surrounding ISR projects in the Powder River Basin, including those operated by Cameco and Uranium Energy Corp. The absence of historic drilling into the Fort Union at Duck Creek presents a significant exploration upside to expand beyond the Wasatch mineralized zones. Strategic Context The acquisition of Duck Creek significantly strengthens Noble Plains' Wyoming portfolio, building on the Company's recent acquisition of Shirley Central and expansion of Shirley East in the Shirley Basin. Wyoming has produced over 238 million pounds of uranium since the 1950s, with the Powder River Basin and Shirley Basin's representing key districts in that legacy of production. ISR is now the dominant extraction method in Wyoming overall, because it allows for faster permitting, minimal surface disturbance, and lower capital and operating costs. The Transaction Further to the Company's June 19, 2025 news release announcing the execution of a property option agreement, between the Company, UNXE238 Corp., and Drakensberg Resources LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, the Company has closed the first stage of its option to acquire up to an 80% interest in the Duck Creek Property by issuing 1,250,000 common shares and paying US$250,000 to the Optionor. The common shares issued are subject to a four-month hold period in accordance with applicable securities laws. The remaining share issuances and cash payments are as disclosed in the Company's June 19, 2025 news release. The Duck Creek Property option transaction was accepted by the TSX Venture Exchange as an expedited transaction. UNXE238 Corp. has a Surface Access Agreement with a local rancher. About Noble Plains Uranium Corp. Noble Plains Uranium (TSXV: NOBL) is focused on acquiring and advancing U.S.-based uranium projects amenable to In-Situ Recovery (ISR)-the most capital-efficient and environmentally responsible method of uranium extraction. The Company targets historically explored, geologically robust projects in uranium-friendly jurisdictions with the goal of rapidly delineating NI 43-101 resources and building out a pipeline of ISR-development opportunities. On Behalf of the Board of Directors, "Paul Cowley", CEO "Drew Zimmerman", President For further information, please contact: Drew Zimmerman: (778) 686-0973 Website: Technical disclosure of the Technical Report and Exploration Target estimate in this news release has been reviewed and approved by Christopher McDowell, P.G., Project Manager at WWC Engineering, a Qualified Person as defined by National Instrument 43-101.

57% of Hospitality Professionals Have Taken at Least One Career Gap, OysterLink Poll Finds
Miami, Florida--(Newsfile Corp. - August 14, 2025) - A recent OysterLink poll has found that 57% of hospitality professionals have taken at least one career gap, showing that stepping away from work at some point is common in the industry. The results show: 57% have taken at least one career gap. 36% reported they have never taken one. 7% said they are considering it. When asked why, many respondents said their break was not voluntary - citing reasons such as job losses during COVID-19 or other economic downturns. Others stepped away voluntarily due to burnout or while considering switching industries. OysterLink's findings highlight a shift in attitudes toward career breaks. In an industry known for long hours, high turnover, and physical demands, taking time off is increasingly seen not as a weakness, but as a normal and sometimes beneficial part of a career path. "Hospitality careers often move at a relentless pace, and stepping away can give professionals time to recharge, learn new skills, or explore other passions," said Milos Eric, General Manager at OysterLink. "The key is how you present that time when you're ready to return." About OysterLink OysterLink is a platform connecting restaurant and hospitality professionals with job opportunities. With job listings, including chef in New Orleans or bartender in Seattle, industry insights, and career resources, OysterLink helps professionals build rewarding careers in hospitality.

Create Account As first reported this week by the Ottawa Citizen newspaper, Carney still doesn't have his own constituency office more than 100 days after the spring election. The PMO says that until the local office is set up, residents of Nepean can access federal services through Defence Minister David McGuinty's office, which is in the neighbouring riding of Ottawa South. Carney will be the last member of his own cabinet to list a local riding office in the House of Commons directory. Constituency offices act as a sort of doormat to democracy, allowing residents to connect with their local elected representatives. Members of Parliament employ local staff at these offices who can help citizens navigate government bureaucracy to access federal services.
