Maple Gold Mines Ltd.
(
TSXV: MGM) (OTCQB: MGMLF) (FSE: M3G
)
"
Maple Gold
" or the "
Company
") is pleased to report that Dr. Gérald Riverin has joined the Company's board of directors and
technical advisory committee. Dr. Riverin obtained his Ph.D. from Queen's University in 1977 and has been involved in the
discovery and development of several notable properties in Quebec, including the Troilus open pit gold-copper mine near
Chibougamau.
Maple Gold's President and CEO, Matthew Hornor, commented:
"We are very pleased to add somebody with such a
strong breadth of knowledge and relevant and complementary experience to our board and advisory committee. Gérald has
previously worked with our Vice-President of Exploration on other intrusive-related gold deposits in the region and we welcome
his expertise and experience. In addition to the drilling gaps and near-surface areas we've defined as priority within the resource
area, we also have a commanding land package with a growing list of regional discovery targets, so we look forward to our
collaborations with Dr. Riverin as we prioritize next phases of drilling and exploration at Douay."
The existing resources (RPA 2019) at Douay are part of a large intrusive-hydrothermal-related gold system, but the Company's
extensive land package covers multiple horizons prospective for several other deposit types including orogenic gold and
volcanogenic massive sulphide (VMS).
Dr. Riverin is internationally renowned as an expert on the geology of volcanogenic massive sulphide deposits and is routinely
invited as a speaker and lecturer on various aspects of the geology of such deposits, and on exploration technology. He has
served as Executive Director of Exploration (North America) for Inmet Mining Corporation, President and CEO of Cogitore,
President of Yorbeau and also as President of the Association de l'Exploration Minière du Québec. All three companies were
active in the greater Douay area.
