PMI Gold Corp.: NEW DIRECTOR APPOINTED
PMI Gold Corp.: NEW DIRECTOR APPOINTED
October 29, 2009 - Vancouver BC - PMI Gold Corporation (TSX.V:PMV) – Douglas MacQuarrie, President is pleased to welcome Dr. John Clarke as an Executive Director of the Company, effective immediately.
Dr. Clarke holds a B.Sc. in metallurgy from University College Cardiff, a Ph.D. in metallurgy from Cambridge University and an MBA from Middlesex Polytechnic. During his long career involved in African mining he has held a number of executive positions including Executive Director of Ashanti Goldfields and most recently was the CEO of Nevsun Resources Limited, an exploration and development company engaged in gold and base metals exploration and development in Africa.
While at Ashanti, Dr. Clarke was responsible for strategic planning and business development and contributed to establishing Ashanti's gold exploration program throughout sub-Saharan Africa, including the acquisition of the Geita deposit in Tanzania, the Siguiri deposit in Guinea and the Bibiani deposit in Ghana.
At Nevsun, Dr. Clarke was responsible for the commissioning of their first mine in a remote and logistically difficult part of Mali, and the exploration and resource definition and major project planning in Eritrea with respect to their Bisha Mine, now under final construction. In addition he was responsible for leasing the Kubi gold project, now owned by PMI Gold, to AngloGold Ashanti for a surface mining operation. Dr. Clarke is also a Director of several other Africa based exploration and development companies which affords him an excellent ‘continent wide’ African outlook.
Dr. Clarke on his appointment stated, “I look forward to assisting PMI Gold to further explore, finance, and move its significant gold assets in Ghana to production. In particular – I am truly excited about the prospects for underground development at Kubi – a potential selective mining project to be developed along the lines of so many mines previously developed in Canada that started small but grew significantly over time from their own cash flow. This is a model which holds great upside in Africa – for high grades, high margins and low environmental impact.”
The Company also announces that the Company has granted, subject to regulatory approval, five year incentive stock options expiring on October 28, 2014, to purchase a total of 1,000,000 common shares of the Company, at a price of $0.20 per share to a Director.
On behalf of the Board,
"Douglas R. MacQuarrie"
President & CEO
