Athos Metals Corp. has outlined the anticipated composition of its board of directors ahead of its qualifying transaction and three-cornered amalgamation with Meed Growth Corp., which will result in a publicly listed issuer on the TSX Venture Exchange.

The proposed board features Michael Gunning, Michael Leskovec, Matthew Filgate, and incumbent Chief Executive Officer Alex Bayer. The incoming directors bring geological, technical, and capital markets experience spanning exploration project finance and public company governance.

Athos acquired the Empire District Project in northwestern Ontario from VR Resources Ltd. under an acquisition agreement dated February 25, 2026. The company subsequently completed a 1,756 line-km helicopter-borne VTEM Plus geophysical survey across the property in June 2026, following shareholder approval of the qualifying transaction at a special meeting on July 22, 2026.

Final completion and closing of the transaction remain subject to final approval by the TSX Venture Exchange.

“As we move toward closing, we are building a board with the technical depth, capital markets experience, and governance discipline our shareholders expect," said Alex Bayer, Chief Executive Officer of Athos. "Our proposed directors bring complementary strengths in exploration, project finance, and public company oversight, and I look forward to their guidance as we advance the Empire District toward drilling and beyond.”
