The merger between Rockridge Resources, MAS Gold and Eros Resources has created a pure-play Saskatchewan-focused gold and copper company with five very exciting projects. The addition of these two professionals will help our company to achieve significant milestones moving forward as they bring a wealth of experience to Eros in both the technical and corporate side of the business. We have a lot planned for the upcoming year and we look forward to leveraging Andrew's industry knowledge, business acumen and strong network to help grow Eros. He had an important role in the three-way merger and has become very familiar with the assets and growth potential. This transition will be very beneficial to all shareholders."
