“We are very happy to have Mr. Xu join the board as Zhaojin’s nominee,” said Bruce McLeod, President & CEO. “Zhaojin continues to be a supportive shareholder and we are happy to benefit from their mining expertise and advice. We also thank Mr. Zhao for his contributions over the years and wish him well in his next endeavours.”
