Acero-Martin Exploration Inc. (TSX-V: ASD; Frankfurt: AMX) (“Acero-Martin” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce the appointment of Dr. Stewart Jackson, P. Geol. as President and Chief Executive Officer.
Dr. Jackson is an accomplished mining professional with 49 years of experience in the exploration and development mineral deposits and the management of public companies. He has been responsible for the discovery and development of several major mineral discoveries, including the multi-billion dollar Red Dog zinc deposit in northwestern Alaska. Today Red Dog, operated by Teck Cominco Limited, is the world’s largest producer of zinc and a significant source of lead. The mine accounts for over 10% of the world’s zinc production.
After the discovery of Red Dog, Dr. Jackson was involved in the discovery and development of the Borealis, South McCoy, and Manhattan gold deposits in Nevada for Houston Oil and Minerals Corporation where he held the position of Manager of Minerals Exploration. Later in his career, in 1981, Stewart founded Crown Resource Corp. and acted as its President until 1987. At Crown, Dr. Jackson helped lead a team that discovered more than 4.5 million ounces of gold in several deposits in Washington State, USA. In 2003, Crown was acquired by Kinross Gold Corporation primarily for its Buckhorn Mountain gold deposit in north central Washington. Since 1987, Stewart has been an independent consulting geologist for several private and public companies.
Dr. Jackson has authored and co-authored numerous geologic publications and received the Barlow Medal of the Canadian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy for a paper he co-authored in 1968. Stewart holds a Bachelor of Science degree in geology from the University of Western Ontario, a Master of Science degree in Stratigraphy and Mineral Deposits from the University of Toronto, and a Ph.D. in Stratigraphy and Economic Geology from the University of Alberta.
Regarding his appointment, Dr. Jackson stated, “I am pleased to accept the challenge of advancing Acero-Martin’s assets and in particular the Pinaya gold-copper project in southern Peru. Working closely with the Board of Directors and the Technical Team, my objectives are to realize the full potential of the project and pursue a strategic program to further define and discover additional gold and copper resources.”
