Scorpio Gold’s Chairman, Peter Hawley, and CEO, Brian Lock, comment, “Since the inception of Scorpio Gold in 2007 and its public listing in 2010, Gilbert Comtois has been a fundamental member of the team in guiding the Company through the start up of the Mineral Ridge operation and the acquisition and sales of its other key assets. His professionalism and stringent control of corporate accounting has been a key component of the Company’s success and has laid the foundation for an easy transition to our new CFO. He will be deeply missed and we wish him all the best in his future endeavours. Janet Horbulyk was also a key member of the original team and has been a joy to work with through the growth of the Company. We wish her the very best in her well-deserved retirement.”
