TRU PRECIOUS METALS APPOINTS BARRY GREENE, P.GEO. AS VICE PRESIDENT, PROPERTY DEVELOPMENT
Tru Precious Metals Corp. has appointed Barry Greene, PGeo, currently the company's exploration adviser, as vice-president, property development of the company. Mr. Greene will be instrumental in identifying potential property transactions and corporate mergers and acquisitions prospects, alongside overseeing exploration plans to enhance the value of the Company's investment property portfolio in the Central Newfoundland Gold Belt. He will also remain a member of the Company's Technical Committee.
A geoscientist with over 30 years of experience, Mr. Greene is based in Grand Falls-Windsor, Newfoundland, only 15 kilometers' drive from Tru's Twilite Gold Project. Mr. Greene has worked across Canada, in the United States and internationally for multi-national geological and engineering consulting companies like Amec Foster Wheeler, Wood Plc., BP Resources Canada, and Rio Algom Exploration Inc. He also previously served for 16 years as Exploration Manager and then Vice-President of Exploration for publicly-traded Celtic Minerals Ltd.
"We are delighted to welcome Barry as a key addition to our leadership team at Tru. Barry's expansive technical background, connections in the Newfoundland mining industry, executive-level capital markets experience, and geographical proximity to 3 of our 4 properties are a rare package. He will be an ideal fit in a full-time role at Tru, and I am confident that in 2021 and beyond he will help us build shareholder value through a savvy combination of deals, development, and drilling," stated Joel Freudman, Co-Founder and CEO of Tru.
Mr. Greene added: "I have been impressed with the Tru team's performance, integrity, and culture since first getting involved in an advisory capacity. I look forward to helping the Company grow and monetize its various properties in the Central Newfoundland Gold Belt."
Mr. Greene will also be joining Tru's board of directors (the "Board") in connection with his officer appointment. To facilitate Mr. Greene's directorship without increasing the size of the Board, and in connection with the Company's increased exposure to the mineral exploration industry, Marisa Muchnik has volunteered to depart from the Board.
Mr. Freudman added, "Marisa has provided top-notch advice and support relating to Tru's non-mining holdings, while also bolstering the Company's commitment to independent corporate governance. We are very grateful for her service to Tru, and wish her the best with her future endeavours."
Finally, the Company announces that its CEO has issued a year-end letter to shareholders outlining the Company's recent milestones and 2021 plans. A copy of the letter is available to all interested readers on the Company's website.
