CADILLAC MINING CORP. ANNOUNCES APPOINTMENT OF NEW DIRECTOR Cadillac Mining Corp. is appointing Gary D. Nordin as a director of the company. Mr. Nordin, a registered professional geologist in British Columbia, has over 40 years of international experience in the mining industry and enjoys a proven record of success. He is currently a director of Orestone Mining Corp., Canasil Resources Inc. and Rae-Wallace Mining.
Mr. Nordin brings to Cadillac an extensive background in the evaluation, acquisition, exploration and development of mineral deposits, with particular emphasis on heap-leach gold projects. His broad range of experience will be an asset to the company as it advances its Goldstrike project located in southwestern Utah in the Great basin.
As co-founder and former director, and vice-president (1982 to 1990) of Bema Gold Corp., Mr. Nordin was intimately involved in the exploration and development of the Champagne heap-leach gold project in Idaho that formed the foundation for that company's evolution into a mid-tier gold producer. He is also credited as a co-discoverer of Bema's six-million-ounce Refugio gold deposit in Chile. Subsequently (1991 to 2001) Mr. Nordin participated as a co-founder, director and executive vice-president of Eldorado Gold Corp. where he was extensively involved in the commercialization of the La Colorada and La Trinidada gold mines in Mexico, and the acquisition of the Efemcukuru and Kisladag deposits in Turkey. More recently (2000 to 2009) he was a co-founder, director and vice-president of Polaris Minerals Corp., a new Vancouver Island producer of high-quality construction aggregates to major coastal markets in British Columbia and the United States.
Elmer Stewart, PGeo, a founding director of Cadillac Mining, retired from its board as of the company's recent annual general meeting. However, Mr. Stewart, who has been a valuable member of Cadillac's team since 2006 and is a significant shareholder, will remain involved in the company's affairs as a senior adviser.
Both Mr. Nordin's and Mr. Stewart's knowledge and experience will be of great value to Cadillac as it takes steps to advance the Goldstrike project in the improving financial environment."
