Tookie's wisdom, support, encouragement, laughter and kindness will be the only motivation needed for our team to continue the work he loved and will ensure his legacy will live on."
"Tookie was a mining legend who brought remarkable passion, experience, and humour to every project he chose to pursue. His guidance, vision, and commitment to the success and growth of the Company will be greatly missed," stated Sharyn Alexander, Sun Summit's President.
