Yukon Territory-focused Wellgreen Platinum has appointed former Romarco Gold Chief Executive, Dianne Garrett, as its new President, CEO and Director. Garrett brings with her more than 20 years of experience in the mining industry, which has been largely demonstrated in her role at Romarco which, under her leadership, grew from a market valuation of CAD $20 million in 2002, to being sold for more than CAD $550 million to OceanaGold in 2015.
According to Garrett: “IÂ’m very excited to join Wellgreen Platinum, which controls a project that is not only one of the largest undeveloped PGM-Ni [platinum-group metals and nickel] deposits in the world, but is also located in one of the most attractive jurisdictions globally. The Wellgreen project is exceptionally attractive in terms of the extraordinary size of the resource, the diversity of base and precious metals, and its being situated in a supportive community,”
Based on a 2015 preliminary economic assessment (PEA), Wellgreen boasted a significant combined measured and indicated resource of 5.5-million ounces PGM plus gold and 2.9-billion pounds of nickel and copper, as well as 13.8-million ounces of PGM plus gold and 7-billion pounds of nickel and copper in the inferred category.
