ENCORE RENAISSANCE WELCOMES MR. LINDSAY GORRILL TO ITS ADVISORY BOARD
Encore Renaissance Resources Corp. has appointed Lindsay Gorrill to its advisory board. Mr. Gorrill provides Encore with over 20 years of senior management experience in the financial and resource sectors. He is expected to play key roles in the company's 2012 revitalization plan.
Mr. Gorrill graduated from Simon Fraser University with a BBA in finance and marketing in 1988. He was admitted to the Institute of Chartered Accountants of British Columbia in 1989. After moving into senior positions with Ernst & Whinney; Peat Marwick Thorne; and KPMG, Mr. Gorrill held executive roles with a number of resource companies in Canada and the United States.
As chief financial officer of Quinto Mining Corp. in 2007 and 2008, Mr. Gorrill was part of a team that raised millions of dollars and advanced a Quebec iron ore property to a viable project. Quinto was then sold to Consolidated Thompson Iron Mines in June, 2008, for a share value equal to $175-million (starting from $4-million) (Consolidated Thompson was eventually sold to Cliffs Resources for $4.9-billion).
Since April, 2009, Mr. Gorrill has served as chief executive officer and president of Canada Fluorspar Inc. He has helped raise over $100-million for the company to reactivate the St. Lawrence fluorspar mine in St. Lawrence, Nfld.
"We are thrilled to have Lindsay join our team," said Encore Renaissance CEO Matt Wayrynen. "His education and senior-level experience give us skills and perspective that will be crucial as we rebuild this company in 2012. We all look forward to working with him."
