Tudor Gold's President & CEO, Ken Konkin, comments: "I am extremely honored to be named President and CEO. Tudor Gold was created by the visionary thinking of its founder Walter Storm. He has been built this company into what it is today due to his leadership skills. We are very proud of what we have accomplished in such a short period of time as our company controls one of the biggest undeveloped mineral resources in the world with the goal to generate significant value for all stakeholders in the upcoming years. I look forward to working with our team and the Board of Directors, which continues to be led by Walter and I congratulate Natalie on her advancement to the Board. We will continue to build on our success by adding key management and technical personnel as the project rapidly grows. I welcome the new challenges that we will face, and I am committed to advance the exploration and development of the Treaty Creek Project from the field as this story has just begun."
In commenting about the change in management, Mr. Storm stated, "I believe these changes will enable the best management of Tudor Gold's affairs and fast-track the project development of Treaty Creek. Ken's passion and leadership shown during his role as Vice President of Exploration and Project Development has accelerated Tudor Gold towards becoming one of the industry's most respected exploration companies.
"Ken's track record speaks for itself and his ability to get the job done is supported by how quickly the Company has progressed since his involvement. I have no doubt that he will continue to lead and strengthen the Company's position to capitalize on the outstanding work completed by our exploration team as we advance our Treaty Creek Project. I also welcome Natalie to the Board of Directors, as she brings a wealth of experience in a technical role to the project. Tudor Gold will continue to acquire hard-working and talented individuals for our needs in various disciplines, and we look forward to Natalie's contributions moving forward!"
