Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - April 1, 2019) - Cordoba Minerals Corp. (TSXV: CDB) (OTCQX: CDBMF) ("Cordoba"
or the "Company") announces a corporate reorganization whereby certain management personnel from Cordoba's majority
shareholder High Power Exploration Inc. ("HPX") will assume key management roles with the Company.
Under the reorganization that takes effect today, Eric Finlayson, President of HPX, will become the President and Chief
Executive Officer of Cordoba, and Greg Shenton, Chief Financial Officer (CFO) of Kaizen Discovery Inc., a company that is majority
controlled by HPX, will assume the role of Chief Financial Officer.
Mr. Finlayson and Mr. Shenton are replacing Mario Stifano and Cybill Tsung, respectively, both of whom have stepped down from
their roles with the Company. Mr. Stifano will be retained as a special advisor to the incoming management team and will provide
strategic guidance going forward. Ms. Tsung will provide consulting services to ensure a smooth transition of financial
activities.
Mr. Finlayson, a geologist, has been President of HPX since 2015, after serving as Senior Adviser, Business Development to HPX
since 2013. Prior to joining HPX, he spent 24 years with Rio Tinto, including five years as Global Head of Exploration. Mr.
Shenton, CPA, CGA, has nearly 30 years of mining industry experience and has been Kaizen's CFO since April 2018. He also was the
CFO of Peregrine Diamonds until Peregrine was acquired by De Beers Canada in September 2018.
"I would like to thank Mario and Cybill for their leadership and dedicated service to the Company," stated Eric Finlayson.
"Under their guidance, Cordoba has experienced exploration success in Colombia and has acquired the Perseverance joint-venture
porphyry copper exploration project in Arizona. I am grateful to have their ongoing support and guidance, and am looking forward to
leading Cordoba through the next phase of exploration and development."
In addition, Charles Forster has been appointed Cordoba's Vice President of Exploration. Mr. Forster is a Professional
Geoscientist with more than 45 years of diversified mineral exploration experience. He is Vice President of Exploration at HPX and
was the Senior Vice President of Exploration at Oyu Tolgoi in Mongolia for Ivanhoe Mines (now Turquoise Hill Resources), leading a
team of multi-national and Mongolian geologists in the discovery and delineation of the world-class Oyu Tolgoi porphyry copper-gold
deposits.
Mr. Forster commented, "I am excited to be taking a more active role in Cordoba to advance our exploration efforts at
Perseverance, where recent drilling indicates proximity to a porphyry copper system. The large, deep magneto-telluric resistivity
low at Perseverance appears similar to the resistivity anomalies observed at other major porphyry copper deposits. At our San
Matias copper-gold project in Colombia, we have compelling evidence for both northern and southern strike extensions of
Alacran-style copper-gold mineralization and clear evidence from Alacran of an underlying porphyry target."
In conjunction with the management changes, Cordoba will consolidate its head office and administrative activities to HPX's
office in Vancouver.
Cordoba also announces that Ignacio Rosado has stepped down as a director of the Company so that he may focus his efforts on his
other professional duties. The Company thanks Mr. Rosado for his valuable contributions.
