(Alliance News) - Pure Gold Mining Inc on Tuesday said it hired Maryse Belanger to its board effective from last Friday.
Belanger is currently a non-executive director at mining and oil & gas exploration company Sherritt International and a director at Canadian-listed lithium & uranium exploration company Plateau Energy Metals.
She was previously chief operating officer of metal miner Atlantic Gold Corp and chief executive of mineral exploration company Mirabela Nickel Ltd.
"We would like to welcome Maryse to Pure Gold. Her impressive track record, expertise in mine design and planning and recent experience in bringing Atlantic Gold's Touquoy Mine into production, strengthens our approach at the right time, as we move our Pure Gold Red Lake mine into production, said Pure Gold Chair Graeme Currie.
"Her tremendous experience in mine operations management will provide invaluable assistance and bring further technical depth to the Pure Gold team during this period of rapid growth and expansion," Currie added.
Pure Gold Red Lake mine is a gold development project in Canada scheduled to deliver first production in late 2020.
Pure Gold Mining shares were trading flat at 46.50 pence each on Tuesday afternoon in London.
