St. Paul, December 10, 2021 - PolyMet Mining Corp. (TSX: POM) (NYSE American: PLM) ("PolyMet" or the "company"), today announced the appointment of Glencore executive Matthew Rowlinson to the board of directors, replacing Nathan Bullock, who stepped down. Mr. Rowlinson's appointment and Mr. Bullock's resignation is effective immediately.

Mr. Rowlinson is one of three Glencore members on the seven-member PolyMet board.

"We look forward to the contributions Mr. Rowlinson will make to our board with his project financing background and wealth of global financial leadership experience," said Jon Cherry, chairman, president and CEO. "We likewise are sincerely appreciative of the many meaningful contributions and insights Mr. Bullock made to the company during his board service."

Mr. Rowlinson began his career with Ernst & Young as an auditor of multinational mining and financial services companies in London, United Kingdom and South Africa. He joined Glencore in 2013 as an asset manager responsible for Latin American assets. He subsequently was named CFO of Copper Latin American Mining and Global Copper Smelting and Refining Assets, then CFO of Copper Latin American Mining and Joint Venture Assets Copper, followed by CFO, Copper Americas (mining and metallurgical assets). He was appointed to his current position earlier this year. Mr. Rowlinson is a qualified Chartered Accountant (South Africa) and holds an MBA from the University of Bath (UK).
