April 12, 2022, Toronto, Ontario - Discovery Silver Corp. (TSX-V: DSV, OTCQX: DSVSF) (“Discovery” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce the appointment of Tony Makuch to the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”).
Mr. Makuch has over 35 years of mining industry experience and was most recently President, CEO and Director of Kirkland Lake Gold Ltd (“Kirkland Lake”). During his five-year tenure Mr. Makuch led the transformation of Kirkland Lake, increasing annual gold production from 315,000 oz to over 1,400,000 oz and increasing market capitalization from approximately C$1 billion to over C$10 billion. Over this period, Kirkland Lake’s share price increased over 500%. These milestones were achieved on the back of two successful acquisitions, industry-leading operational performance and significant exploration success and ultimately culminated in Kirkland Lake’s merger with Agnico Eagle Mines Limited in 2022.
Murray John, Chairman of Discovery, commented: “We are genuinely delighted to welcome Tony to our Board. Tony has had a highly successful career in mine operations and executive management and has an exemplary track-record of creating stakeholder value. Tony’s appointment to the Board complements the recent recruitment of Tony Esplin as our Chief Operating Officer. These appointments support our continued growth, positioning us with the operating talent and experience to develop Cordero into a globally significant Tier 1 silver mine.”
