ERDA Resource Opportunities Inc. has appointed board director Blake Rhodes as Chairman of the Board.

Rhodes joined the board in May 2026, bringing experience from senior leadership roles with Newmont Corporation. His appointment follows the company's rebranding from Fancamp Exploration Ltd. and the spin-out of its exploration assets into Goldera Exploration Ltd., in which ERDA retains a 17.7% interest.

“Since joining the Board in May, I have had the opportunity to witness a transformational period for the Company, marked by the successful completion of the Goldera spin-out and the rebranding to ERDA Resource Opportunities,” said Blake Rhodes. “These milestones have established ERDA as a focused royalty and resource investment company with a strong balance sheet, a portfolio of quality assets and significant strategic flexibility. As Chairman, I look forward to working closely with Rajesh, management and the Board to build on this momentum, pursue value-accretive opportunities and deliver long-term shareholder value.”
