From Dr. Gunning, as founding CEO and incoming Chairman, "Some two years in the planning, we are ready for this succession, and I am excited for VR's path going forward. But first, I wish to convey on behalf of the entire team at VR our appreciation to outgoing and founding Chairman, Darin Wagner, for his shared visions at the start of VR's journey in greenfields exploration, and especially for the experience, dedication and rigor that he brought to Board governance, each and every day, from Day 1. We wish him the very best.
As our founding Project Geologist and VP Exploration, Justin's succession to CEO will be seamless; he knows the VR team, he knows our projects inside and out, and he knows what to do next. But further, Mr. Daley brings to VR's leadership a new-generation approach and expertise in Big Data which he gained at Harvard Business School, where he focused his studies on the application of AI and machine learning to the business and science of modern mineral exploration. VR's mantra is innovation, expertise and purpose, Justin embodies all three, and I look forward to working with him on a daily basis to continue VR's pursuit of new discoveries in the critical metals sector."
The Company wishes to thank its shareholders for the support at our AGM, and we look forward to executing
and reporting on our near-term exploration plans for this fall, as this generational opportunity in commodities takes hold in response the emerging Green Economy.
