- Chris Ford joins GOH’s advisory board as company beefs up leadership team to prep for 2021 exploration campaign
- Company is starting phase I drill program at high-priority Rio Loa gold/silver project; continues trenching programs at Coya, Alicia and Roma projects
- GOH is committed to mobilize a world-class exploration talent, one of key success factors in junior mining
GoldHaven Resources (CSE: GOH) (OTCQB: ATUMF) (FSE: 4QS), a Canadian junior exploration company active in the Maricunga Gold Belt of Northern Chile, has announced the appointment of Chris Ford to the company’s advisory board; Ford will be a significant contributor to the company’s Chilean operations.
According to the announcement, Ford has extensive experience with gold mining projects in Chile as he previously led the Gold Fields team that discovered the Salares Norte epithermal silver and gold deposits located north of GoldHaven’s Rio Loa project. He will join a team of seasoned mining professionals: Pat Burns, who serves as head of the exploration credited with the discovery of one of the top two copper mines in the world, and Jack Pritting, who led the exploration of Kinross’s La Coipa gold mine.
The latest move is in line with GOH’s strategic ambition to attract a robust talent pool as the company believes that essential to its success is the right people along with the right product and right timing enhanced by strong commitment. The latest addition to its supervisory board shows that GOH is poised for growth as the company commences it’s 5000m phase I drill program at the Rio Loa Project.
In addition to the commencement of drilling, GOH is mobilizing equipment to start a trenching program at the Coya, Alicia and Roma projects to include rock sampling and geophysics. Previous trenching conducted at Rio Loa in December 2020 exposed additional hydrothermal breccias, important as they form the host rocks to the gold and silver mineralization in deposits such as the Gold Field’s Salares Norte project located 25km to the north of the Rio Loa asset (https://ibn.fm/0Bmgu).
With prices, production and consumption of minerals and metals expected to improve in 2021, Fitch Solutions assigns a positive outlook for next year. It forecasts that global gold production will increase from 106 million oz. in 2020 to 133 million oz. by 2029, growing at an average annual rate of 2.5% — a considerable acceleration compared to 2016–2019, when the growth was just at 1.2% annually
Management is confident that GoldHaven operates in one of the most prospective gold districts globally, where the company runs seven projects with unique land position, a combination that is starting to yield attractive targets. The new addition to GOH’s management team confirms the company’s strategic commitment to secure world-class exploration talent, one of the junior mining industry’s key success factors, as it prepares to start exploration campaigns.
