On behalf of Barrick, he also managed an exploration company in Spain targeting Carlin-type systems beneath historic workings.

Having worked alongside the team as a strategic adviser, I've seen the quality of the asset and the discipline this group brings to a focused exploration program. The Dryden district offers a rare combination of high-grade gold exploration, historic mining, a large, underexplored land position and a team with a long track record of building shareholder value."

Christina McCarthy chose not to stand for re-election to the board as she has recently assumed the chief executive officer role at Nuvau Minerals Inc.
