MONTREAL, May 31, 2023 - St-Georges Eco-Mining Corp. (CSE:SX)(OTCQB:SXOOF)(FSE:85G1) would like to report that Mr. Frank Dumas has resigned from his position as a director and Chief Operating Officer of the Company. Effective June 1, 2023, Frank will assume the duties of the newly created position of Vice-President of Business Development of St-Georges. James C. Passin has been recruited to fill the vacancy created by Frank's departure from the Board of Directors and will sit as an independent director. "(…) Frank is a major asset to the Company, and we are happy that he is staying to help us launch the next stages of development. St-Georges is entering a new phase and will require additional help to tackle the challenges ahead. Since founding the Company in the early 2000s, Frank has been instrumental in its development and success, sometimes at the expense of his personal life. The creation of a Business Development role has been long discussed and is a natural fit for Frank's strengths while he continues to work with the team on our shared objectives (…) During the last week, members of the board had discussions with Frank on the topic of his required reporting. It is expected that all historical reporting should be brought to compliance. The Board will put safety mechanisms in place to avoid a repeat of this situation from any insider of the Company in the future (…) Additionally, we are pleased to welcome James to the Board of Directors of the Company. His extended network and expertise in the financial and energy sector should help us reach milestones faster and he will be a formidable addition to our team. (…)" commented Herb Duerr, St-Georges' President & CEO.
