VANCOUVER, BC, July 10,
2023 /CNW/ - GR Silver Mining Ltd. ("GR Silver
Mining" or the "Company") (TSXV: GRSL) (OTCQB: GRSLF) (FRANKFURT:
GPE) – today announces several Board and
Management changes aiming to position the Company for continued
growth under current market conditions.
The Company has accepted the resignation of Mr. Gino DeMichele for personal reasons from its
Board of Directors. Mr. DeMichele has been a director of the
Company and its predecessor company since April 2017, providing highly valuable guidance
and support over the many years. GR Silver Mining welcomes the
addition of two new directors to its Board of Directors, Mr.
Fernando Berdegué de Cima and Mr.
Trevor Woolfe.
Mr. Berdegué is a Mazatlán-based entrepreneur with a BA Degree
in Financial Management from Instituto Tecnológico de Monterrey and
a Masters Degree in International Management from Instituto de
Empresas (IE) Business School in Madrid,
Spain. He is a Founding Partner and CEO of Durango Gold
Corp., a private US-based mining exploration company, and was a
Co-Founder and Strategic Advisor to Tonogold Resources, Inc., which
consolidated the historic Comstock Lode in Nevada and where he proposed an innovative
multidisciplinary approach for exploration. He brings to the
Company a diverse range of education, experiences, and interests
including law and humanities, environment, sustainability,
governance, venture capital, and responsible mining, including
extensive experience in Mexican business as a Member of the
Advisory Board of the family business, El Cid Mega Resorts, in
Mazatlán, Sinaloa Mexico. Mr.
Berdegué, together with current director Laura Diaz, strengthens the board's knowledge
and experience in carrying out business in Mexico.
Mr. Woolfe is well-known to GR Silver Mining as the Company's
former Vice President Exploration and Corporate Development. He
joined the Company in July 2018 and
had been an important member of the geological team as our
understanding of mineralization at the Plomosas Project and,
consequently, our mineral resource inventory, grew. He was key,
together with current exploration management, to the discovery of
the SE Area, supporting the Company's resource growth over the last
three years. Mr. Woolfe left the Company to return to his native
Australia as announced in the news
release dated June 14, however, his
deep knowledge of all operations and assets of the Company in
Mexico will provide valuable
knowledge and experience to support strategic planning in the
coming months. He holds a Bachelor of Science (Honours) degree,
majoring in geology, from Monash University (Australia). Prior to joining GR Silver Mining,
he brought 25 years of exploration, mining, and public company
management experience, including positions with Australian
companies CRA, Metana Minerals NL and Newcrest Mining Limited, as
well as four years with Canadian major, Placer Dome in Chile and Brazil. He is a Member of the Australasian
Institute of Mining and Metallurgy, Australian Institute of
Geoscientists, a Graduate of the Australian Institute of Company
Directors, and holds a Graduate Certificate in Applied Finance and
Investment (SIA).
In addition, the Company announces that it has accepted the
resignation of its Chief Financial Officer, Ms. Samantha Shorter for personal reasons. Ms.
Shorter was appointed CFO in May
2023. Mr. Blaine Bailey, the
Company's former CFO who retired in May
2023 (see news release dated May 5,
2023), has agreed to return to the Company as Interim CFO
with Ms. Shorter's continued support.
Chair of the Board of Directors Eric
Zaunscherb, stated, "On behalf of the Board of Directors,
the management, and the Company's shareholders, I wish to thank
Gino DeMichele for his exceptional
support since the Company's inception. Thank you also to
Samantha Shorter for her recent
contributions. I wish them both all the best in their future
endeavours. I am very pleased to welcome Blaine Bailey back in the role of CFO, knowing
the Company intimately as he does. Finally, we are honoured to have
Fernando Berdegué and Trevor Woolfe
joining our board. Fernando brings an intimate understanding of the
Mexican business milieu and a passion for developing Mexican mining
assets in a responsible manner, while Trevor's knowledge and
experience and recent discovery of the SE Area, will provide
valuable input in the strategic planning and growth of resources at
the Plomosas Project."
About the Plomosas
Project
The Plomosas Project, including the recent high-grade
silver SE Area discovery in the San Marcial Area, is an emerging
high-grade silver district located in southern Sinaloa, Mexico. The Plomosas Project,
covering 43,187 ha, benefits from mine infrastructure, road access
and existing permits, associated with past-producing historical
mining sites. The district contains intermediate to low
sulphidation epithermal silver and gold mineralization hosted in
hydrothermal breccias and veins. Recent success in exploration and
drilling has delineated wide, high-grade, shallow hydrothermal
breccias in the San Marcial Area, including the SE Area discovery,
where drilling incorporated into the updated March 2023 Plomosas Project mineral resource
estimation highlighted an exploration opportunity for continuous
resource growth.
