Mr. Richard Mark has resigned as the CEO and Chairman of the Board of the Directors of North American Nickel, the mineral exploration company.
This management change is to take effect immediately and in the meantime, Mr. Mark Fedikow, PhD and P.Geo will share the role of CEO in addition to his current responsibilities as president. Mr. Douglas Ford, an independent director, has been appointed non-executive chairman. The company has already started to conduct a formal search for a CEO replacement.
Mark has cited that his main reason for leaving his position is to spend more time with his family. He has commented, “As a large shareholder of NAN, I am very optimistic and excited about the 2014 exploration and zone drilling programs at NAN’s 100-per-cent-owned Maniitsoq nickel sulphide project in southwestern Greenland. Neil Richardson has put together a fantastic team and I am confident nothing will be overlooked. I will miss the day to day intensity of running North American Nickel, but must admit, I look forward to spending more time with my wife and daughter this summer.”
