George Sookochoff commented, "I am truly excited about the prospect of working on one of the best projects that I have seen in my career -- the Greenwood Precious Metals project. Being born and raised in Grand Forks, I am quite familiar with the rich mining history of the 'Boundary area.' The Phoenix mine, along with the numerous other smaller mines in the area, has generated hundreds of jobs for families in Grand Forks, Greenwood and area over the last century. With the upcoming restart of its three mines and the tremendous potential in the vast Phoenix property, I am confident that Golden Dawn will be successful in creating further jobs for families in the Boundary area."
