Entrée Resources Mourns Passing of Former CEO Stephen Scott

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Sept. 14, 2026 /CourierPR/ -- Entrée Resources Ltd., a Canadian mining company, mourned the sudden passing of its former CEO, Stephen Scott, on September 8, 2026. Scott, who served as President, CEO, and a director of the company for over a decade, passed away after a brief illness. His tenure was marked by significant achievements, including the restructuring of the company and the progressive steps taken to derisk the company’s principal mining interest in Mongolia.

Scott’s career in the mining industry spanned more than three decades. He began his journey in Perth, Australia, and later joined Rio Tinto Exploration (RTX) Australasia. His career with Rio Tinto was extensive, encompassing various roles such as President Director of Rio Tinto Indonesia, General Manager Commercial for Rio Tinto Canada, and Senior Vice President Corporate Development and Strategy for Turquoise Hill Resources. In 2014, Scott established a capital markets and management advisory consultancy in Vancouver, British Columbia, before joining Entrée Resources in 2015.

Alan Edwards, Entrée’s Non-Executive Chair of the Board, expressed his deep sorrow and shared, “I had the fortunate privilege of working alongside Steve over the past ten years. He approached the challenges of leadership with integrity and grace, while maintaining a wry Australian sense of humor. Steve was a wonderful colleague and an even better friend, and he will be greatly missed.”

Scott’s leadership was instrumental in guiding Entrée through critical phases. The company holds a unique carried joint venture interest on a significant portion of one of the world’s largest copper-gold projects, the Oyu Tolgoi project in Mongolia. Royal Gold, through its wholly owned subsidiary International Royalty Corporation, and Rio Tinto are major shareholders of Entrée, holding approximately 24% and 16% of the shares, respectively.

The passing of Scott leaves a void in the leadership of Entrée, and the company is likely to face challenges in continuing its strategic direction. The board and management of Entrée will need to work together to ensure the company’s continued success and stability.

In a forward-looking statement, the company acknowledged the risks and uncertainties that could impact its future performance. These include market fluctuations, regulatory changes, and operational challenges. The company advised that more information about these risks can be found in its most recent filings with the Canadian Securities Administrators.

As the company navigates this period of transition, it will be crucial for the board and management to maintain the trust and support of shareholders and stakeholders. The loss of Scott, a key figure in the company’s history, underscores the importance of leadership continuity and the challenges that lie ahead for Entrée Resources Ltd.
