VANCOUVER, Jan. 17, 2012 /CNW/ - Tyhee Gold Corp.
(the 'Company') announces that, effective immediately, Harjinder S. Gill has been appointed to the full time position of Chief Financial Officer of the Company, and as CFO of Tyhee N.W.T. Corp., the Company's wholly owned Northwest Territories operating company.Mr. Gill will be taking over from Lorne B. Anderson, C.A., who has held the same role since May 2005 on a part time basis. Mr. Anderson is stepping down to pursue other business interests.
As a financial executive, Mr. Gill brings a wide variety of experience in the mining industry, both in Canada and internationally, including extensive responsibility for budgeting, cost management, auditing, taxation, forensic analysis as well as enterprise resource planning and information systems implementation.
For the past four years Mr. Gill was Director General of Akmola Gold LLP, which conducted extensive exploration and development work on its project in Astana in northern Kazakhstan. In his role as the Chief Executive and one of the principals, Mr. Gill was responsible for acquiring the project, arranging private funding and overseeing technical personnel in charge of exploration and development on two mineralized zones which were taken to resource status. Mr. Gill was also responsible for arranging the necessary work for National Instrument 43-101 resource reports.
Prior to his most recent position with Astana, Mr. Gill worked 16 years in a variety of positions for Teck Resources, including 12 years as a Business Analyst charged with operational trouble shooting and business development. Mr. Gill's most notable role with Teck included working on the Antamina project in a construction oversight role, which later transitioned to Mine Controller during that project's startup.
Mr. Gill's addition to Tyhee's executive team follows the recent appointment of Brian K. Briggs P.E. as Interim CEO (see Tyhee release dated December 19, 2011.)
Mr. Briggs stated, 'On behalf of all of us at the Company, I want to thank Lorne for his professionalism and invaluable service over the past years. Change is a necessary part of company growth and development but in this case, we are appreciative of Lorne's past efforts and look forward to his continued success in his future business ventures.
The addition of Mr. Gill to the Tyhee management group allows the Company to continue to focus on achieving our stated corporate goal of transitioning the Yellowknife Project from exploration to an operating gold mine. Mr. Gill's wealth of experience and knowledge in the financial world will be heavily relied upon as we turn our vision into a reality in a few short years.'
