AFTERMATH SILVER APPOINTS GALIANT PARTNERS AS CRITICAL MINERALS ADVISORS
Aftermath Silver Ltd. has appointed Galiant Partners as adviser to the company.
Galiant Partners is a leading independent management and financial consulting firm focused exclusively on the metal, mining and related sectors. Founded in 2017 and headquartered in London, Galiant Partners focuses on supporting mining companies through key stages of project development and the structuring and securing of associated financing. Galiant Partners' chief executive officer, Jan-Erik Back, has a 25-year record in the metal and mining sectors. He has held senior executive positions in global mining, engineering and investment banking firms. With over $100-billion (U.S.) of previously successfully executed assignments, the Galiant Partners team is currently supporting the growth of a number of mining companies in a number of jurisdictions, including Latin America.
Ralph Rushton, president and chief executive officer of Aftermath, commented: "Berenguela is undergoing a PEA study to confirm its potential to become a leading precious and energy transition minerals project. Galiant Partners will play an integral part in assisting the company to optimize its future development and to ensure that Berenguela delivers its full potential as we work to commercialize its unique silver-copper-manganese metals inventory. A key part of Galiant's mandate from Aftermath is to help advance exposure and knowledge of the potential of the Berenguela project amongst end-users of manganese. Galiant's expertise in the battery metals field will be invaluable to Aftermath, and I look forward to working with Jan-Erik and his team as we take our next critical next steps."
Jan-Erik Back, founder and CEO of Galiant Partners, commented: "Our focus is the identification of mining assets that have the potential to become the next generation of world-class operations. Berenguela has a unique potential to produce silver, copper and high-purity manganese sulphate, each with strong long-term fundamentals, from an established mining jurisdiction. Combined with a proven senior executive team, we are excited for the future of Aftermath Silver and proud to have been chosen to partner with the company."

- Aftermath published a resource estimate in March, 2023, based on over 300 core and reverse circulation holes.
