Less than two months have passed since Osisko Mining Corp. (TSX:OSK) bought Vancouver-based Brett Resources for $372 million, but Brett's former president and CEO Patrick Soares isn’t resting on his laurels.
The seasoned miner has taken the reigns at Skyline Gold Corp. (TSX-V:SK), another Vancouver company focused on gold and base metals exploration at its Bronson Slope project in northwest B.C.
Soares will assume the role of executive director at Skyline, taking over from chair Cliff Grandison who has led the junior for 19 years.
“I believe the company requires a young energetic leadership with a record of success in running a junior exploration company to exploit Skyline’s significantly increased land position in conjunction with the Bronson Slope development,” Grandison said.
Soares is part of a leadership team that also includes David Jensen, who will hold the roles of president and COO.
Skyline’s Bronson Slope project contains a National Instrument 43-101 compliant resource of 2.6 million ounces of gold and 695 million pounds of copper in measured and indicated categories.
At press time, Skyline’s shares were up 4.69% to $0.33.
