"Since Wheaton's inception, Eduardo and John have played instrumental roles in guiding our transformation into the world's premier precious metals streaming company," said Randy Smallwood, President and Chief Executive Officer of Wheaton. "Eduardo's expertise in Latin America, knowledge of the global economy and vast experience in the mining sector has made him an immensely valued adviser to Wheaton. We also benefitted from John's strong track record of strategic management, his financial acumen, audit expertise and general enthusiasm for continuous professional development. On behalf of the Board and the management team at Wheaton, I would like to thank Eduardo and John for their dedication and support over the last 19 years. Both Eduardo and John will always be a part of Wheaton."
