Notable corporate development achievements in the sector include the early stage financing/development of Athabasca Potash (all cash sale to BHP), Rallymont Energy (all cash sale to Husky Energy), Copper Canyon Resources (acquired by Novagold) and Prairie Hunter Energy (acquired by Renegade Energy). These and many other successful ventures, combined with Mr. MacNeill’s experience as an Investment Advisor with a major brokerage house, and as the CFO of Pacific Western Trust (now Schedule 1 Canadian Chartered Bank Versabank) make Tom uniquely qualified in the space within which Sixty North Gold operates. Tom is also a director of Norse Gold Corp., a company developing the historic Viking Yellowknife Mine 25 km north of the Mon Property and adjoining Gold Mining Inc.’s Ormsby Zone.
Dr. Dave Webb, Director, President & CEO of the Company reports “We are excited for the experience and vision Tom brings to the company. His history of finding, developing, operating and selling resource ventures in Canada will assist Sixty North Gold to execute on their vision. Our plan to restart the high-grade gold mine and mill within the Yellowknife Gold Belt is an aggressive plan that has been done hundreds of times in the past in other ventures.” Mr John Campbell, a founder of Sixty North Gold Mining Ltd., has stepped down as Director and Chairman of the Board, but will remain as Chief Financial Officer of the Company. Dr. Webb states, “Under John’s direction the Company identified the potential of the Mon Property and raised over $8 million to earn a 100% ownership of this permitted mine, and to initiate mining on the high-grade A-Zone. The Company thanks John for his vision and direction and wishes him well in his other activities.”
