independent director regulatory
"the appointment of Joanna Pearson to its Board of Directors as an independent director"
An independent director is a member of a company's board of directors who is not involved in the company's day-to-day operations and has no significant relationships with the company that could influence their judgment. Their role is to provide unbiased oversight and ensure the company is managed in the best interests of all shareholders. This helps build trust and confidence among investors by promoting transparency and accountability.
emerging markets financial
"multinational audit engagements for U.S. and Canadian listed companies, primarily in the mining sector and emerging markets"
Countries and regions whose economies are growing and modernizing faster than low-income nations but are not yet as stable or wealthy as advanced economies; they often have expanding middle classes, rising consumer demand and developing financial markets. For investors, emerging markets can offer higher growth potential—like backing a fast-growing startup instead of a mature company—but also bring greater risks from political changes, currency swings, weaker regulations and less market liquidity, which can make returns more volatile.
Mineral Reserves and Mineral Resources technical
"uncertainty in the estimation of Mineral Reserves and Mineral Resources; Allied’s ability to replace and expand"
Mineral reserves are the portion of a mineral deposit that has been tested and shown to be commercially extractable with current technology and prices; mineral resources include reserves plus additional material that is geologically identified but not yet proven economic. Investors use reserves to gauge near-term production and cash flow, while resources indicate potential upside and longer-term growth—like knowing how much usable fuel is in the tank now versus how much might be reachable with further effort.
force majeure events regulatory
"force majeure events; transactions that may result in dilution to common shares"
forward-looking information regulatory
"This press release contains “forward-looking information” under applicable Canadian securities legislation"
Forward-looking information are predictions, plans, estimates or expectations about a company’s future performance, results or events, such as sales forecasts, project timelines, or anticipated costs. It matters to investors because these statements guide expectations but rely on assumptions and uncertain factors—like a weather forecast for a business—so investors should treat them as informed guesses rather than guarantees and consider the risks and possible changes behind the numbers.

Allied Gold Announces Addition of Joanna Pearson to Board of Directors

TORONTO, Aug. 18, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Allied Gold Corporation (TSX: AAUC; NYSE: AAUC) (“Allied” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce the appointment of Joanna Pearson to its Board of Directors as an independent director, effective immediately.

Ms. Pearson has over 25 years of international experience in financial reporting, risk management and strategic financial transformation in the mining sector. She served as Chief Financial Officer of Endeavour Mining plc from 2021 to 2023 and, prior to that, spent 12 years as an Audit Partner with Deloitte LLP, where she led multinational audit engagements for U.S. and Canadian listed companies, primarily in the mining sector and emerging markets. Ms. Pearson currently serves as a director of Hochschild Mining plc and Gold X2 Mining Inc. She is a Chartered Professional Accountant of British Columbia and holds the ICD.D designation.

On behalf of the Board, Peter Marrone, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Allied, said, “We are very pleased that Joanna has joined our Board. Joanna brings extensive financial, governance and mining industry experience, including as a senior executive and director of public mining companies. She joins us at a time when we will be transitioning from the development stage in respect of our Kurmuk Mine to production and generation of cash flows which will accelerate our status as a more financially mature public mining company. Her perspective will complement the skills of our existing directors and further strengthen the Board’s financial, governance and mining industry expertise and support our public commitments relating to Board refreshment initiatives.”

In order to allow for Joanna’s appointment given the size limits of the Board, Daniel Racine has stepped down from the Board having provided strong support to the Company as we pursued our development plans and transitioned from a smaller producing and development stage company to one with greater financial depth. Mr. Racine will continue as an emeritus director and in that capacity, he will provide ongoing support and advice to the Board and help ensure continuity during this period of transition.

“I would like to thank Daniel for his contributions to Allied. He has been a strong advocate for the development plans of the Company and supported the efforts of management relating to those plans. We are delighted that he will remain involved in the emeritus role, in which capacity he will attend and contribute to Board discussions.”
