“A struggling Red Lake gold mining company has turned to a well-respected mining veteran and company builder for help to get back on track.
Pure Gold Mining is bringing former Kirkland Lake Gold CEO Tony Makuch aboard as a technical advisor.”
“The former president-CEO of Kirkland Lake Gold, who resigned that post in February, will provide input on mining activities, development strategies, exploration efforts and organizational efficiencies.
Makuch brings to Red Lake more than 40 years of experience in mine management, operations and technical know-how to a mining camp in northwestern Ontario that he is familiar with.
Among his achievements at Kirkland Lake Gold was guiding the company into a $30-billion merger with Agnico Eagle Mines, establishing the latter as the world’s third-largest gold producer.
Before that, Makuch served an eight-year stint as president-CEO of Lake Shore Gold in Timmins, growing that company from a junior explorer to a more than a 180,000-ounce-per-year producer, culminating in a merger with Tahoe Resources. Among his other career stops include senior management positions at FNX Mining, in restarting old mines and building a new mine in the Sudbury basin, and at Dynatec where he was involved in several mine development and shaft sinking projects, including for Goldcorp at Red Lake.”
“PureGold president-CEO Mark O’Dea said he was looking forward to working with Makuch.
‘Tony’s operational skills in high-grade underground mines, including in Red Lake, add significant bench strength to PureGold’s growing operational team. His track record as a driving force behind some of the gold mining industry’s most successful companies in the last decade speaks for itself.’”
