Alastair Goodship Appointed as Chief Operating Officer

Mila Resources Plc (LSE:MILA), the post-discovery gold exploration accelerator, is pleased to announce the appointment of Alastair Goodship to the Board as Chief Operating Officer ("COO") and Executive Director with immediate effect.

Mr. Goodship, aged 38, has served as Exploration Manager at Mila since Q4 2023, where he has played a pivotal role in identifying projects for acquisition and advancing the Company's portfolio of interests in Queensland, including Yarrol, Mt Steadman and Monal.

An exploration geologist with over 15 years of global industry experience, Mr. Goodship has led discovery-focused teams across greenfield and brownfield exploration, resource definition and feasibility studies, often in technically challenging environments. Mr. Goodship has experience in gold exploration across a wide range of deposit types, from shear-related deposits in Archean terrains in West Africa and South America, to intrusion-related and orogenic deposits in East and Southern Africa and Australia.

He was part of the team that advanced the Kokoyah Gold Mine in Liberia from resource definition through to pre-feasibility for Amlib before its sale, and more recently led the team at Piran Resources (now Trinity Metals) to define significant tin and tantalum resources, progressing the projects through scoping studies and into production.

Alastair was a senior Exploration Geologist with RSC Consulting from 2019 to 2022, working with a range of clients across Africa, Europe and South America, exploring for a range of commodities with a particular focus on gold and copper. Prior to joining Mila, he was a Senior Exploration Consultant with RSCMME Ltd and a technical advisor to Trinity Metals Group.

Mr. Goodship holds a BSc (Hons) in Geology from Cardiff University, an MSc in Mining Geology from the Camborne School of Mines and a further MSc from Lund University specialising in Quaternary Geology. He recently submitted his PhD, which focused on advanced remote sensing and landscape analysis, further strengthening his technical geological expertise. In his capacity as COO, Mr. Goodship will chair the Company's Technical Committee, ensuring strong governance and technical oversight across Mila's portfolio.

Mark Stephenson, Executive Chairman of Mila, commented:

" We'd like to welcome Alastair on the Board in this new COO role at the most exciting time in the Company's history.  We are now entering an intensely busy period with Phase 2 drilling underway with the target of delivering a maiden resource in early 2026, also, we have stepped up our commitment to building our own team in in Queensland so that we can progress faster and more cost efficiently. Alastair is attending site this week to oversee the RC drilling with the newly appointed team at Yarrol.

"Alastair has deep technical experience and knowledge with a proven ability to develop exploration projects from greenfield through to production. This new role underscores our commitment to developing the project and we are very pleased to have his expertise on the board to guide us through the development of the project."
