Midtier precious metals miner Endeavour Silver lead director Rex McLennan has stepped into the position of chairperson to replace Bradford Cooke, who passed away last week.
McLennan joined the company as an independent director in June 2007, appointed as chairperson of the audit committee. As an independent corporate director, he has chaired the audit committees of a number of publicly traded companies, and was appointed lead director for Endeavour in May 2021.
He is a past director of Pinnacle Renewable Energy, Boart Longyear, and the World Gold Council, London UK. His professional and executive career spans over 40 years including C-level executive positions serving as CFO for Viterra, prior to its acquisition by Glencore in 2012, and Placer Dome, a global mining company acquired by Barrick Gold in 2006; with an earlier career with Imperial Oil, a major subsidiary of Exxon.
“Rex has been a director of Endeavour Silver for 15 years and we have benefitted tremendously from his guidance during this time,” said Endeavour CEO Dan Dickson.
“He has been instrumental in the evolution of the company and exemplifies our vision in sustaining growth for all of our stakeholders.”
