PORT MORESBY, Papua New Guinea, June 12, 2024 /CNW/ - Adyton Resources Corporation (TSXV: ADY) (Adyton) is pleased to announce the appointment of former Friedland exploration manager Dr Chris Wilson as a Non-Executive Director to the Board. Dr Wilson's appointment is subject to TSXV approval and fills the vacancy created by the prior resignation of Mr Anthony Williamson.

Dr Wilson, BSc (Hons), PhD, FAusIMM (CP), FSEG, FGS, is a commercially-driven exploration geologist with over 30 years of global experience in area selection and prospect generation, generation of high value mineral exploration targets, and the design and management of large resource definition drilling programs. Dr Wilson has worked in over 80 countries, on most commodities and deposit styles. He has specialist experience with low to intermediate sulphidation epithermal Au-Ag-base metal systems, high sulphidation Au-Cu systems, and porphyry copper-gold systems and associated breccia- and sharn-hosted mineralization.

Dr Wilson has extensive project review and target generation experience, with demonstrated ability to integrate and interrogate complex multi-disciplinary datasets, and rapidly identify and test high value targets. Dr Wilson has very strong deposit model knowledge ensuring key controls on mineralization are placed within the wider context of a projects geological, structural and hydrothermal evolution.

Dr Wilson has proven ability to lead multi-disciplinary and multi-cultural, high talent teams under diverse cultural and physiographic regimes and is a Qualified Person for JORC and NI 43-10 compliant reporting and valuation. Dr Wilson spent 10 years with Ivanhoe Mines (TSX:IVN), including Exploration Manager for Ivanhoe Mines Mongolia, where he was responsible for an exploration portfolio of over 11 million hectares.

Dr Wilson comments, "I am delighted to be joining the Board of Adyton Resources Corporation and providing oversight of geological exploration of the project portfolio in Papua New Guinea.  Following my PhD I was appointed Lecturer at the University of Papua New Guinea (Port Moresby Campus) which provided me with a deep understanding of PNG's geology and varied people and cultures. Adyton has robust projects with NI43-101 compliant mineral resource estimates, providing an excellent foundational value, on which to conduct further exploration". Dr Wilson further comments, "despite a number of historical drilling campaigns on Feni Island, most holes were shallow, and many did not penetrate the post-mineral volcanic cover nor assayed for copper. Adyton is presently reprocessing historical magnetic data, and reinterpreting historical drill hole assay results, which indicate there are a number of high reward exploration targets that were never adequately drill tested. This is confirmed by the most recent 5 hole drill program by Adyton also(see News Release dated December 1, 2021) which intersected intervals such as 35.9 m @ 0.3% Cu and 1.1 g/t Au (70.7 to 106.6 m) and 6.4 m @ 5.1% Cu and 1.6 g/t Au (147.7 m to 156.1 m) in hole ADK004.  This along with a small number of historic deeper holes indicate both significant gold and copper exploration upside."

Adyton Chairman Sinton Spence said " I am thrilled to have Dr Wilson join the Board, Dr Wilson's unique background having lectured in Geology at the University Of PNG along with his experience at Ivanhoe mines and exposure globally to many deposit types combined with his matter of fact and pragmatic approach fills an important gap on our Board as we look to build a refreshed Board.
