Texas Mineral Resources Adds Experienced Mining Executive Jonathan Beigle to Board of Directors

Texas Mineral Resources Corp. has expanded its Board of Directors by appointing Jonathan Beigle, a seasoned mining industry professional with extensive leadership experience in metals and mining sectors. The appointment, effective May 8, 2025, underscores the company's commitment to strengthening its strategic leadership and expertise in critical minerals development.

Beigle brings a robust background in the mining industry, with over 20 years of experience in various leadership roles. Currently serving as director, president, and chief executive officer of Ridgeline Royalties Incorporated, he has previously worked with prominent organizations such as Newmont Corporation and Manning & Napier Advisors. His professional journey includes significant contributions to investor relations and strategic financial management within the mining sector.

The newly appointed board member's credentials are particularly noteworthy. Holding a Master of Science degree in mining engineering and management from the South Dakota School of Mines and a Bachelor of Science in business with a finance specialization, Beigle is also a Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) charterholder. His past board experience includes leadership roles with the Rocky Mountain Chapter of the National Investor Relations Institute and the Society for Mining, Metallurgy and Exploration.

Anthony Marchese, TMRC's chairman, emphasized the strategic value of Beigle's appointment, noting his deep experience in precious and critical metals mining will be instrumental in supporting the company's business growth objectives. With this addition, TMRC's Board of Directors now comprises six members, with five being independent directors, reflecting a commitment to diverse and experienced governance.

The appointment comes alongside the resignation of Kevin Francis from the board for personal reasons. TMRC has expressed gratitude for Francis's contributions during his tenure.

This leadership change arrives at a critical time for TMRC, which is primarily focused on developing the Round Top heavy-rare earth, technology metals, and industrial minerals project in Hudspeth County, Texas. The company currently holds an approximate 19.3% interest in this joint venture and is actively exploring additional domestic mining opportunities, particularly in gold and silver.

Beigle's extensive background in royalty financing, investor relations, and mining analysis positions him as a valuable addition to TMRC's strategic leadership, potentially enhancing the company's ability to navigate the complex landscape of critical minerals development and investment.
