Precious and base metals explorer and developer American Pacific Mining on Monday announced the appointment of Joness Lang as president of the company, succeeding Eric Saderholm, who is transitioning to the role of MD of exploration.
The transition will free up time and allow Saderholm to focus on project development and advancement as well as generating and evaluating new projects for the company.
“We are delighted to have Mr. Lang take on a leadership role as president of American Pacific as we continue to grow our portfolio of western US precious and base metals exploration and development projects,” said CEO Warwick Smith.
“Joness has been an integral member of our board of directors for several years, and with his robust experience in the mineral resources sector, we will benefit immensely from his expertise as he takes on a more active leadership role on our team.
"Current president, Eric Saderholm, who has done a phenomenal job of identifying and advancing the high-quality projects in our portfolio, continues to be a key member of the team.”
American Pacific's high-grade flagship assets are the 14-million-tonne, advanced stage copper/zinc/gold/silver Palmer project in Alaska, under joint venture partnership with Dowa Metals & Mining, and the past-producing Madison copper/gold project in Montana, in partnership with Rio Tinto.
The company's asset portfolio includes the Ziggerat gold project, partnered with Centerra Gold, the Gooseberry silver/gold project and the Tuscarora gold/silver project: three high-grade, precious metals projects located in key mining districts of Nevada.
