Patrick Downey, the Company’s President and CEO commented, “I am excited to have Louis and Ryan join the Orezone team. Their diverse skill sets and experiences in the mining sector and capital markets will assist the Company in the continued development and financing of the Bomboré mine. The Company also wishes to thank both Tim and Joe for their long service and contributions made to the Company over the last several years, and wishes them well in their future endeavours. With the move of the Company’s corporate office to Vancouver, and Tim and Joe located in Miami and Ottawa respectively, this is a natural transition. Tim has also expressed the need to dedicate more time to his other business interests.”
