TIM O'HANLON JOINS THE SUPERNOVA STRATEGIC ADVISORY BOARD

Supernova Metals Corp. has welcomed Tim O'Hanlon to the Supernova strategic advisory board, effective immediately.

Mr. O'Hanlon commented, "I am delighted to step into this exciting role as a senior adviser to Supernova, and look forward to leveraging my expertise in the oil and gas industry, particularly in Africa, and assisting the company on its prominent exploration opportunities in the Orange basin, one of the most active oil exploration regions in the world with some of the highest exploration drilling success rates in recent times."

Armed with his civil engineering degree from University College Dublin, Irishman Mr. O'Hanlon joined Schlumberger, which served as his earliest introduction to the oil business. Following postgraduate studies in reservoir engineering at Imperial College London, he became a member of the founding team of Irish start-up Tullow Oil in the mid-1980s. From the outset, this exciting and ambitious explorer/producer focused on Africa, operating oil and gas opportunities which had proved non-commercial for the IOC majors. During these early years at Tullow, he lived in Senegal heading up the company's onshore, oil and gas, production business cash cow, splitting his time between wearing coveralls/hard hat and a suit/tie. More recently as vice-president for Africa, he was central to Tullow's rapid expansion across the mother continent involving ground-floor licence negotiations, the velvet acquisitions of Energy Africa and Hardman, and finally Tullow's fabled frontier exploration of some of Africa's more remote interior basins.

During these years, he was more likely to be found in the ministerial waiting rooms of Brazzaville or Bujumbura than Tullow HQ or the oil company data rooms of Houston or London. Over the course of his 33 years at the company -- during which he was widely known as Tullow's Monsieur Afrique -- he visited all but one of Africa's 54 countries (Djibouti) and negotiated with dozens of Africa's heads of state. Since retiring from Tullow in 2020, he has been advising Africa-focused explorer/producer Panoro Energy on its growth ambitions across the continent, as well as being involved with start-ups in the African power and forestry sectors.

Sean McGrath, Supernova chief executive officer, commented: "Tim's knowledge at every level of operations and vast experience in the African oil and gas industry is immeasurable. His expertise and relationships in Africa are a tremendous addition to Supernova as we forge ahead with our investment in the Orange basin."
