Lead Exploration Efforts in Namibian Orange Basin

Vancouver, British Columbia, April 11, 2025 – Supernova Metals Corp. (the “Company” or “Supernova”) (CSE: SUPR) (Frankfurt: A1S) is pleased to announce the appointment of Stuart Munro as Vice President of Exploration, effective immediately.

Stuart Munro is a true pioneer in the Namibian Orange Basin, having played a pivotal role in the region’s exploration history.

With over 50 years of expertise and a remarkable track record of success in over 90 basins worldwide, including 18 years across Africa and 15 years in Venezuela, Munro’s accomplishments speak for themselves.

A seasoned geophysicist and a renowned oil finder, Munro has held high-impact roles with Maersk Oil, SOCO, Signet Petroleum, and Regalis Petroleum. He has developed more than 30 prospects, including Graff, and successfully presented them to major industry players like Shell, securing high-impact farmout deals that have led to groundbreaking discoveries.

Supernova CEO, Sean McGrath, stated, “We are incredibly fortunate to have someone of Stuart’s caliber join our team. His unparalleled experience and leadership will be invaluable as we embark on our exploration journey in the Orange Basin. Stuart’s deep expertise and proven ability to repeatedly unlock world-class oil discoveries will give Supernova the edge we need to replicate past successes and create significant value for our shareholders.”

Munro’s appointment comes at a pivotal time for Supernova, as the Company advances exploration efforts on its Orange Basin acreage, surrounded by recent multi-billion-barrel discoveries by Shell, TotalEnergies, and Galp. His wealth of knowledge and pioneering spirit will be central to driving Supernova’s Namibian exploration strategy forward. With his unmatched expertise, Munro is well positioned to lead the Company towards future discoveries and continue building on the legacy he helped establish in this high-potential region.  Supernova is excited to leverage Munro’s leadership to deliver the next wave of success in the Orange Basin.
