DLP Resources Appoints Gautam Iyer as Vice President of Corporate Development and Investor Relations

DLP Resources Inc. has strengthened its corporate leadership team with the appointment of Gautam Iyer as Vice President of Corporate Development and Investor Relations. This strategic hire brings significant value to the company as it seeks to advance its porphyry copper-molybdenum-silver projects in Peru and expand its presence in global financial markets.

Mr. Iyer's credentials are particularly well-suited for DLP's growth phase. His career trajectory spans equity research at Canaccord Genuity covering base metals and silver companies, followed by corporate development roles at Orefinders Resources and most recently as Vice President of Corporate Development at Ore Group. His experience includes M&A transactions, capital markets activity, and shareholder engagement across multiple portfolio companies, providing him with a comprehensive understanding of the mining sector's financial and strategic landscape.

The appointment signals DLP's intention to accelerate its corporate development activities and broaden its investor base. As President and CEO Mr. Gendall noted, the company is positioning itself to expand marketing of its advanced Peruvian projects to a broader range of financial markets, strategic partners, and new investor groups. This initiative comes at a critical time when copper and molybdenum demand continues to strengthen driven by electrification and infrastructure development trends.

The compensation package includes 200,000 stock options exercisable at $0.19 over three years, vesting quarterly over one year. This structure aligns Mr. Iyer's interests with shareholder value creation while providing meaningful upside potential. The appointment is subject to TSX Venture Exchange approval, following standard regulatory procedures for executive appointments and equity compensation arrangements.
