TORONTO, July 6, 2020 /CNW/ - Orefinders Resources
Inc. ("Orefinders" or the "Company") (TSX.V: ORX) is very pleased
to welcome a new key person to Orefinders and its broader group,
Dr. Keith Benn. Dr. Benn joins both
Orefinders and Mistango as its Vice President of Exploration where
his focus will be the companies' Kirkland
Lake and Shining Tree portfolios.
Dr. Benn holds a PhD in structural geology as well as a post
doctoral degree in the structure and tectonics of Precambrian
greenstone belts. Most recently Keith was Director of Structural
Geology for Goldcorp Inc., and he has extensive and relevant
experience in the Abitibi region as well as in other Precambrian
greenstone regions in Canada,
Africa and South America. Keith will be collaborating
with Charles Beaudry who will remain
a key member of Orefinders and Mistango exploration brain
trust.
"The appointment of Dr. Benn marks the next phase of our pivot
towards exploration, discovery, and our drill programs. Mr.
Beaudry remains very much with our team, however Keith will focus
on the Kirkland Lake and Shining
Tree assets. We felt this move is necessary as we increase our on
site exploration and as we expect our respective drill campaigns to
begin in the near term," said Stephen
Stewart, Orefinders CEO.
Charles Beaudry, director of both
companies also commented: "With the expansion of our exploration
budgets in the Kirkland Lake and
Shining Tree mining camps, it is important that our efforts be
narrowly focused on these projects for both Mistango and Orefinders
and that requires a dedicated VP Exploration for these
companies. Dr. Benn is a very appropriate candidate to lead
us to discovery success."
