Toronto, October 1, 2020 - Moneta Porcupine Mines Inc. (TSX: ME) (OTC Pink: MPUCF) (FSE: MOP) ("Moneta" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the appointment of Jason Macintosh as Chief Financial Officer, subject to TSX approval.
Gary O'Connor, CEO commented, "We are pleased to have attracted Jason Macintosh to the role of Chief Financial Officer and Corporate Secretary "CFO" at Moneta. Jason brings over 20 years of experience in the resource development and mining sector. We look forward to Jason's contributions to the financial, marketing, governance and operations aspects to the continuing expansion of our resource base at Moneta and the development of our flagship Golden Highway project."
Jason Macintosh, CFO stated, "I was attracted to Moneta as it provides a unique opportunity as one of few junior exploration companies with a large land package in the prolific Timmins gold mining camp, that contains a significant and rapidly growing gold resource base. The recently completed PEA on only one of Moneta's six deposits, South West, has highlighted the significant value of these growing deposits. The current economic climate is very favourable for advancing gold mining projects as evidenced most recently by Moneta's oversubscribed financing for gross proceeds of $6.3 million dollars, allowing Moneta to pursue a robust winter drilling program as the company continues to advance the Golden Highway project. I look forward to bringing my experience to the team at Moneta in continuing to add value to the Company during this time of business growth."
Jason Macintosh, BComm, MBA, CPA has over 20 years of experience on the financial and operational sides of mineral exploration, mining and contract mining. Jason holds a Bachelor of Commerce degree from Dalhousie University, Nova Scotia, a Master of Business Administration from Laurentian University, Ontario and the designation of Mining Engineering Technician from Haileybury School of Mines Northern College, Ontario.
Mr. Macintosh has previously worked in the CFO and controller role for a number of exploration companies since 2011, was the Corporate Controller at Labrador Iron Mines from 2013 to 2018 and Financial Controller of contract mining company, Dumas Contracting from 2011 to 2013.
