Avidian Announces Management & Board of Directors Changes
TORONTO, Aug. 01, 2018 -- Avidian Gold Corp . (“Avidian” or the “Company”) (TSX-V:AVG) wishes to announce the
appointment of Mr. Nick Tintor as President & CEO and Director.
Nick is a mining executive and geologist who holds a Bachelor of Science in Geology from the University of Toronto and has
more than 30 years of experience in the Canadian mining industry. For the past 20 years he has been involved in all aspects of
junior mining company management from project generation, to finance and executive management. He also brings deep
global relationships in the mining industry and especially in the Canadian resources investment banking sector, to Avidian.
Most recently, Nick was the President and CEO of Toachi Mining Inc., a company he co-founded and led from inception from
the acquisition of the La Plata project in Ecuador to the delivery of a maiden 43-101 resource study in September, 2017.
Previously Nick was co-founder, President & CEO of Anaconda Mining which acquired the Pine Cove gold deposit in
Newfoundland that is currently in production, and VP Canada of Moto Gold Mines Inc., which was sold to Rand Gold in 2008.
Nick’s appointment will be effective August 6, 2018. In order to accommodate Nick to the Board of Directors, Mr. Vic Bradley
will be stepping down from his board role in the company. Mr. Bradley states, “I am very pleased to be able to move aside so
that Nick can be engaged at all levels of Avidian from day one. We are most fortunate to be joining forces with a person of
Nick’s calibre and experience and I feel strongly that Avidian will benefit much as he leads us forward. Our Alaskan assets
hold great promise and I am certain that Nick will be instrumental in unlocking significant value. He will also be able to do the
same with our Nevada assets.”
Mr David Anderson, Chairman of Avidian states, “We are extremely pleased to have someone of Nick’s background and depth
join the Avidian team and lead the company on its exploration and strategic growth plans. The Board also extends its
gratitude to James Polson for his assistance in guiding the company as CEO during its latest fund raising and Dino Titaro as
President for his role in taking the company public and his exploration and property acquisition input. Both James and Dino,
who acted on an interim basis in their executive roles, will remain on the board to provide both technical and services
expertise, industry contact experience as well as guidance to the strategic vision of the company. I would also like to extend a
special gratitude to Vic for his vision and valuable input into Avidian, a company that he created some 7 years ago.”
“I’m thrilled to be joining Avidian not only because of the tremendous exploration opportunity the Company presents in Alaska
and Nevada, but especially because of the people involved,” Nick Tintor, incoming President and CEO commented. “I have
known Dave Anderson and Dino Titaro for more than 25 years. They along with the technical advisors such as Alex Davidson
(ex-Barrick Gold) and Doug Kirwin (Ivanhoe & Chakana) have a remarkable track record in our industry and I am looking
forward to joining this veteran team and helping steer and grow Avidian as we advance and develop its portfolio of projects.”
