Former UK deputy PM Dominic Raab to join uranium explorer Reveille Resources
Former UK deputy prime minister Dominic Raab has been appointed to Reveille Resources' board as a non-executive director.
The British company is seeking uranium exploration licences in northern Italy, where it aims to develop its exploration work.

Reveille says Raab will advise the board on international investors, government relations and exploration opportunities.
He must pass regulatory checks before starting the role.
Raab resigned from government in 2023 after an investigation found his conduct toward civil servants was intimidating and aggressive, and could have amounted to bullying.
