Mr. Wyeth stated: “I am excited to be joining Treasury at this exciting period in its evolution and will be squarely focused on advancing the Goliath and Goldlund Projects. I look forward to working with key stakeholders and the Treasury team as we advance these projects through studies and ultimately a construction decision. One of my greatest career highlights was the successful development of the Victor mine, and I look forward to doing it again.”
“We would also like to extend our gratitude to
Greg Ferron
for his leadership, hard work and dedication to Treasury in various roles culminating in his tenure as CEO. The Board wishes Greg all the best in his future endeavours,” added Mr. Fisher.
