AurCrest Gold appoints Chris Angeconeb as President and CEO
Toronto, Ontario (FSCwire) - AurCrest Gold Inc. (the “Company” or “AurCrest”) (TSX-V: AGO) is pleased to announce that Chris Angeconeb, Executive Vice President and Director, has accepted the role of President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company. This role, effective immediately, represents a culmination of the Company’s long-standing Management and Board policy toward growing a positive and progressive cultural relationship between the mineral exploration and development industry and Aboriginal communities and governments.
Christopher Clayton James Angeconeb, a member of the Lac Seul First Nation in the Grand Council Treaty #3 area of Northwestern Ontario, possesses a strong understanding of the interrelated issues facing many First Nations, of the requirements of many of the agencies involved with Aboriginal affairs, and of the practical implementation of the Crown’s duty to consult and accommodate. Chris will now be setting the direction of the Company, focusing on exploration and expansion of Company holdings as an active participant to the socioeconomic development of our neighbouring Aboriginal communities. Chris will also continue to serve as President of Wiigwaasaatig Energy Inc., the renewable energy subsidiary of the Company tasked with partnering with local First Nations to develop the infrastructure necessary to sustain mineral industry activities.
The Board of Directors would like to thank outgoing President and CEO Ian Brodie-Brown for his years of service and dedication to the Company and his many efforts to foster a strong First Nations presence in the Canadian resource sector. Ian will continue to be an active participant on the Company’s Board, taking on the role of Director of Business Development.
