TORONTO, Dec. 10, 2018 - Red Pine Exploration Inc. (TSX-V: RPX) ("Red Pine" or the "Company”) announces that Dr. Robert (Bob) Dodds’ status of Executive Director of Mine Development has changed to Director of the Company effective immediately. Dr. Dodds will qualify as an Independent Director of the Company in 2020.
Bob is stepping down as Executive Director to devote his time to his new role as Vice Chair of the Ontario Energy Board (“OEB”). The OEB regulates the electricity and natural gas distribution systems in Ontario which have about a $46 billion value in assets.
Bob, formerly the CEO of Augustine Ventures (“Augustine”), has served as Executive Director of Mine Development for Red Pine since February 2017 following Augustine’s merger with Red Pine. This merger resulted in Red Pine acquiring a 60% interest in the Wawa Gold Project.
