EQT APPOINTS KYLER HARDY AS PRESIDENT AND DIRECTOR EQUITAS RESOURCES CORP. APPOINTS KYLER HARDY AS PRESIDENT AND DIRECTOR
Equitas Resources Corp. has appointed Kyler Hardy as president and director of the company.
Mr. Hardy is a seasoned and successful entrepreneur who has been involved in mineral exploration and the mining industry for 14 years. During his career he has gained experience internationally as well as across Canada. He is a founder and former chief executive officer of UTM Exploration Services Ltd., a geosciences and logistics management business which specializes in the exploration and development of projects in remote areas. Mr. Hardy is experienced in project generation, exploration management, logistics, raising capital, corporate development, and developing alliances and strategic partnerships.
Mr. Hardy stated: "I am excited to be president of Equitas Resources and to be working on the Garland nickel project. I see nickel as a strategic metal with significant upside potential going forward due to production declines and lack of capacity coming on stream. China is the No. 1 consumer of nickel and with India growing rapidly, demand should only increase. In keeping with this theme, the company's newly acquired, underexplored Garland project provides significant exposure to the nickel exploration space in an area with proven production from the world-class nickel deposit at Voisey's Bay in Labrador, Canada."
Mr. Hodge has resigned as president but will remain a director of the company. Additionally, Ryan Fletcher has stepped down as a director of the company. The board of directors would like to thank Mr. Fletcher for his service and wishes him success in his future endeavours.
