December 06 2021 - 6:30PM
Rockridge Resources Ltd. (TSX-V:
ROCK) (OTCQB:
RRRLF)
(Frankfurt: RR0)
(“Rockridge” or the “Company”) announces with deep sorrow that a
Director of the Company, Richard (“Rick”) Kusmirski, P.Geo., M.Sc.,
passed away on Friday, Dec. 3rd in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, at the
age of 68 after a lengthy illness. Rockridge wishes to extend our
sincere condolences to his family, friends, and business
associates. Rick was an accomplished exploration geologist with
more than four decades of experience throughout the world but
primarily focused in North America, specifically the Athabasca
Basin. He has been an active member of the Saskatchewan mineral
exploration and mining community for many years and will be dearly
missed.
Rick actively participated in the discovery of a
number of uranium, gold and base metal deposits, and for several
years, in his capacity as Exploration Manager, he directed Cameco
Corporation's uranium exploration projects in the Athabasca Basin.
In 1999, Rick joined JNR Resources becoming Vice President of
Exploration in 2000. Subsequently, he directed the exploration
program that led to the discovery of the Maverick Zone on the Moore
Lake uranium project with then partner Kennecott Canada. Rick later
became JNR’s President and CEO in January of 2001, and continued
leading the company until February of 2013, JNR was acquired by
Denison Mines Corp. by way of a friendly all-share take-over bid.
Rick also served as the industry Chair and Director of the
Exploration Section of the Saskatchewan Mining Association for many
years and was a director of Rockridge Resources Ltd., Bessor
Minerals Inc. and several other publicly traded companies.
Jordan Trimble, President of Rockridge, stated:
"On behalf of our Board of Directors, management team and
employees, we extend our deepest sympathies to Rick’s family and
friends. We are all incredibly saddened by this sudden loss and
Rick will be sorely missed. I have known and worked with Rick for
almost nine years, and I consider him a dear friend, colleague and
mentor. Rick was a passionate, hard-working and very knowledgeable
exploration geologist that was laser-focused on creating
shareholder value.”

and development of mineral resource properties in Canada,

the Knife Lake Project located in Saskatchewan which is ranked as
