As a result, Mr. Harder has had to resign from Energizer's Board of Directors.

Mr. Harder joined Energizer's Board of Directors in 2009, and since 2013 had served as Chairman and as a Member of Energizer's Special Advisory Committee.

In addition to Energizer Resources, Mr. Harder served on the Boards of Power Financial Corporation, IGM Financial Corporation, Magna International Inc., Northland Power, Telesat Canada and TimberWest.

"Peter established an ethos of strong corporate governance at Energizer which will serve the Company well as it transforms from a exploration company into a development company," said Craig Scherba, President and CEO of Energizer. "It has been both an honour and a pleasure having Peter on our Board, and we would like to thank him for the innumerable contributions he has made to the Company. I speak for everyone at Energizer in congratulating Peter on his new role, and yet another accomplishment in his impressive history of public service."

The Company is pleased to announce that Mr. John P. Sanderson Q.C. will replace Mr. Harder as Chairman of the Board of Directors. Mr. Sanderson has been Vice Chairman of Energizer's Board of Directors since October 1, 2009 and previously served as the Company's Chairman from January 2009 to September 2009.
