Discovery Announces Appointment of Tony Makuch to Board
April 12 2022 - 7:59AM
Discovery Silver Corp. (TSX-V: DSV, OTCQX: DSVSF)
(“Discovery” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce the
appointment of Tony Makuch to the Company’s Board of Directors (the
“Board”).
Mr. Makuch has over 35 years of mining industry
experience and was most recently President, CEO and Director of
Kirkland Lake Gold Ltd (“Kirkland Lake”). During his five-year
tenure Mr. Makuch led the transformation of Kirkland Lake,
increasing annual gold production from 315,000 oz to over 1,400,000
oz and increasing market capitalization from approximately C$1
billion to over C$10 billion. Over this period, Kirkland Lake’s
share price increased over 500%. These milestones were achieved on
the back of two successful acquisitions, industry-leading
operational performance and significant exploration success and
ultimately culminated in Kirkland Lake’s merger with Agnico Eagle
Mines Limited in 2022.
Murray John, Chairman of Discovery, commented:
“We are genuinely delighted to welcome Tony to our Board. Tony has
had a highly successful career in mine operations and executive
management and has an exemplary track-record of creating
stakeholder value. Tony’s appointment to the Board complements the
recent recruitment of Tony Esplin as our Chief Operating Officer.
These appointments support our continued growth, positioning us
with the operating talent and experience to develop Cordero into a
globally significant Tier 1 silver mine.”
Mr. Makuch is a Professional Engineer (P.Eng)
and has obtained the Institute of Corporate Directors ICD.D
designation from the University of Toronto Rotman School of
Business.
Pursuant to the Company’s stock option plan, Mr.
Makuch has been granted 400,000 stock options (“Options”). The
Options, each exercisable for one common share of the Company at an
exercise price of C$1.76 per share, vest annually in two equal
tranches beginning on the date of the grant of April 11, 2022. The
Options will expire on April 11, 2027, five years after the date of
grant. Any common shares issuable upon exercises of Options will,
in accordance with applicable securities laws, be subject to a hold
period expiring four months from the date of grant.
About Discovery
Discovery’s flagship project is its 100%-owned
Cordero project, one of the world’s largest silver deposits. The
PEA completed in November 2021 demonstrates that Cordero has the
potential to be developed into a highly capital efficient mine that
offers the combination of margin, size and scalability. Cordero is
located close to infrastructure in a prolific mining belt in
Chihuahua State, Mexico. Continued exploration and project
development at Cordero is supported by a strong balance sheet with
cash of approximately C$60 million. On Behalf of the
Board of Directors,
Taj Singh, M.Eng, P.Eng, CPA President, Chief
Executive Officer and Director
