Atco Mining Inc. has appointed Neil McCallum, BSc, PGeo, to its board of directors.

Mr. McCallum is a professional geologist with over 16 years of experience in North America. After graduating from the University of Alberta in 2004, he has been working with the Dahrouge Geological Consulting group and has been engaged in the exploration and development of a wide variety of commodities such as industrial minerals (limestone, coal), strategic commodities (REE, tantalum, niobium, graphite), energy commodities (uranium, lithium, cobalt, vanadium) and traditional mineral commodities such as gold, copper, silver and other base-metals. He has managed a range of projects from grassroots prospecting to resource definition drilling and resource modeling. Over his career, he has become an expert in the compilation of regional-scale metallogenic databases to generate new targets and gain a better perspective for project-scale targeting and acquisition. As a result, his specialty has led him to serve as an independent director for several public companies and launch numerous clients along successful paths to discovery. Stemming from his extensive project and managerial experience, Mr. McCallum is highly proficient in designing budget-specific exploration programs for a variety of commodities within both Canadian and US jurisdictions with the added ability to recognize and develop often hidden potential.
