SASKATOON, Saskatchewan, April 02, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- GFG Resources Inc. (TSX-V:GFG) (OTCQB:GFGSF) (“GFG” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce the appointment of Mr. Rob Mackie as Vice President, Exploration Canada effective immediately. Mr. Mackie will be responsible for leading the Company’s exploration program at its recently acquired Pen Gold and Dore Gold projects located west of the prolific Timmins gold district in Ontario, Canada.

“We are pleased to welcome Rob and his expertise in greenfield targeting and exploration to our leadership team,” stated Brian Skanderbeg, President and CEO. “Rob’s significant experience in applying modern exploration techniques to identify and prioritize drill targets will be valuable at our highly prospective Ontario gold projects.”

Mr. Mackie is a registered professional geologist with over 12 years of experience in mineral exploration with major, mid-tier, and junior mining companies. Prior to joining GFG, he was a principal consultant geologist with CSA Global and a senior project geologist with Anglo American. Through these roles, Mr. Mackie has built a strong foundation in the operational and technical aspects of designing and executing exploration programs in many jurisdictions in Canada. Mr. Mackie has a strong background in the interpretation of geochemical data and considerable experience in data integration and multi-disciplinary targeting. He holds a Bachelor of Science (Geology) from the University of Manitoba and a Master of Science (Geology) from the University of British Columbia.

In connection with Mr. Mackie’s appointment and pursuant to the Company’s stock option incentive plan, the Company granted Mr. Mackie incentive stock options to purchase 200,000 common shares of the Company. These stock options vest over three years and are exercisable for a period of five years at a price of C$0.33 per common share.

The Company also announces that the Company’s President and CEO and its Board of Directors have reduced their annual cash compensation in a continued effort to expand the Company’s in-the-ground exploration expenditures. In lieu of the reduced cash compensation, the Company will grant the President and CEO and its Board of Directors stock options to purchase up to an aggregate of 257,400 common shares of the Company. These stock options vest over three quarters and are exercisable for a period of 5 years at a price of C$0.33 per common share.

The stock options are subject to the terms of the Company’s stock option plan and regulatory approval.
