NorZinc Ltd. is pleased to provide a corporate update and announce the appointment of Claudine Lee as the VP, Corporate Social Responsibility (“CSR”).
Don MacDonald, President and CEO of NorZinc Ltd. said, “Given the challenges that were presented in 2020, we were very pleased with our ability to raise financing and continue advancing the Prairie Creek Mine this past year. Like all other companies, we were affected by Covid-19 in many ways, including delaying site access until we were fully satisfied with the safety protocols for our site workers and the local communities, progressing all planning and permitting processes while working remotely, and navigating this during the market uncertainty that affected the finance markets worldwide. However, we ended the year with significant advances to the economic potential for the project, and a new focus on the importance of the silver content of our mine. I would like to thank all of our NorZinc team, the local indigenous communities and various NWT government and regulatory authorities who supported us this past year.”
NorZinc is very pleased to announce that Ms. Claudine Lee, M.Sc., P. Geo. will assume the position of VP CSR as of February 22, 2021. Ms. Lee brings extensive experience with over 20 years working in the north in mining, including social corporate responsibility, sustainability projects, environmental programs compliance, community engagement and relationship building, and the management of health and safety at the Ekati Diamond Mine.
