Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - April 15, 2025) - Canter Resources Corp. (CSE: CRC) (OTC Pink: CNRCF) (FSE: 6O1) ("Canter" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the appointment of Warwick Smith as Executive Chairman of the Board of Directors, effective immediately.
Mr. Smith brings more than 25 years of leadership experience in corporate finance and mergers and acquisitions (M&A). His proven track record of successful deal-making and value creation aligns well with Canter's current focus and growth strategy. The Company has derisked and delineated compelling brine discovery targets at its Columbus Lithium-Boron Project (the "Project"), with an amended Notice of Intent (NOI) currently under review with the Bureau of Land Management (BLM).
"Canter is actively engaged with prospective strategic partners at both the Project and corporate levels and having Warwick's extensive experience in the Chairman role as we navigate the strategic opportunities in front of us will provide key support as we work towards becoming a prominent North American critical metals Company at a time when securing the domestic supply of these strategic minerals has never been more important," stated Joness Lang, CEO of Canter Resources.
"I have worked closely with Joness for several years at American Pacific Mining where we have combined to secure major partnerships, strategic investors and accretive M&A deals together. I look forward to joining Canter in the Chairman role and achieving similar outcomes together in the critical metals sector," stated Warwick Smith, Executive Chairman.
