Anthony Marchese, Chairman of TMRC, emphasized the value Beigle's appointment brings to the company. Marchese highlighted Beigle's deep experience in precious and critical metals mining as a key asset to TMRC's growth strategy. With Beigle's addition, the Board now comprises six directors, five of whom are independent, reflecting a strong governance structure.

Additionally, he is a CFA charterholder, further attesting to his financial acumen and industry expertise.
The appointment follows the resignation of Kevin Francis from the Board, who stepped down for personal reasons.
