TORONTO, Sept. 28, 2022 - Adventus Mining Corp. ("Adventus Mining") (TSX-V: ADZN) (OTCQX: ADVZF) is pleased to announce the appointment of two new independent board members as a result of the departure of two existing board members. This will result in a continuation of six directors, with a seventh to be announced shortly. Mr. Paul Sweeney is resigning for personal reasons as part of his retirement plans and Mr. Mike Haworth is resigning as part of other business commitments and also reallocating his time to Greenstone's larger investment exposure. An extensive outreach process was run by Adventus Mining, with a view to the development of the Curipamba-El Domo copper-gold project in Ecuador. The two new independent board members are:

• Mr. Stephen Williams - Stephen is currently Vice President Corporate Development & Investor Relations at Bluestone Resources Inc., a Lundin Group company. He was previously a Director at Canaccord Genuity Corp. in the metals and mining investment banking team. Stephen is a professional engineer by background and worked for Freeport-McMoRan in an operational and process development capacity. He holds a B.A.Sc. in Metallurgical Engineering from the University of British Columbia and an MBA from the W. P. Carey School of Business, Arizona State University.
• Mr. Leif Nilsson - Leif is currently CEO and Director of Surge Copper Corp., an exploration and development stage company with copper projects located in British Columbia. Prior to joining Surge Copper, he dedicated 15 years to a career in mining advisory and investment banking for various Canadian and international firms, most recently serving as Senior Vice President at the Australian multinational investment bank Macquarie Capital. He has advised on many high-profile M&A and Canadian capital markets transactions and has built a reputation for excellence and integrity. Leif holds an Honours Bachelor of Science in Physics and Exploration Geophysics from the University of Toronto and a Masters in Finance from INSEAD.

The new Board will be constituted by five independent directors, including Independent Chairman, Mr. Mark Wellings, and with President and Chief Executive Officer Mr. Christian Kargl-Simard as the only non-independent director.

Mark Wellings, Chairman of Adventus Mining commented: "On behalf of our entire organization, we want to thank Mike Haworth and Paul Sweeney's effort and long-time commitment to our board, since the company's founding in 2016 and 2018, respectively. Adventus Mining has come a long way in a short time from an exploration company to the upcoming construction of the next copper-gold mine in Ecuador, with both Mike and Paul having been strong contributors to that vision."

Michael Haworth, outgoing board member commented: "As a founding shareholder and original director, I have watched the Adventus Mining team grow and advance El Domo with great interest and respect - highlighted by the recent and significant financial commitments by Wheaton Precious Metals and Trafigura this year. The Adventus Mining team and its strategic shareholders and partners continue to demonstrate their resolve to unlock significant long-term value for all stakeholders. Greenstone remains a significant shareholder in Adventus Mining and will continue to support their investment."

Paul Sweeney, outgoing board member commented, "Working alongside the Adventus Mining team over the last years to grow the team, and advance El Domo and the Company's exploration assets, has been a pleasure. Despite difficult markets, Adventus Mining has raised the capital it needs to advance its projects in the least dilutive way possible, and with excellent corporate governance. I am confident in the Adventus team's ability to move the El Domo project into construction."

Adventus Mining announces the granting of an aggregate of 200,000 incentive stock options (the "Options") under its share compensation plan at an exercise price of C$0.375 per optioned share, exercisable for a period of five years from the date of grant and vesting over a three-year period
