Colorado-based gold and silver miner Golden Minerals has announced the appointment of John Galassini as COO, effective May 9.

Galassini will be responsible for leading the company’s Mexican mining operations, including the operating Rodeo gold/silver mine and the Velardeña Properties, which is nearing a production restart decision.

“John grew up mining underground with his father in New Mexico. His subsequent operational experience and accomplishments bring strong leadership to the Golden team as we further utilise and develop the Velardeña assets and formulate plans for Yoquivo and our other South American projects,” says chairperson Jeffrey Clevenger.

Galassini began his career with Phelps Dodge, serving as general manager at the Morenci copper mine in Arizona, president of Minera Candelaria in Chile, and ultimately rising to the role of senior VP of North America Operations where he was responsible for seven large mining operations and two smelters. He later served as regional VP, North America, for Kinross Gold.

Subsequent roles include the COO role at Sunshine Silver Mines and Senior VP mining for Nyrstar in Zurich, Switzerland. He most recently served as executive VP and COO for Sabre Gold Mines in Toronto, Canada.
