VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA -- (Marketwired) -- 10/26/15 -- True Gold Mining Inc. (TSX VENTURE: TGM) ("True Gold" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that Peter Hardie has been appointed as the Company's Chief Financial Officer ("CFO"), effective November 2, 2015.
Peter joins True Gold from Nevsun Resources Ltd., a gold-copper-zinc company with a flagship mine in Eritrea, East Africa, where he served as Vice President, Finance and as Chief Financial Officer. He brings a unique skillset to True Gold, having led the finance team at Nevsun as it grew from a junior developer to a producer. He was involved in the financing, construction and mine start-up, operations, government negotiations, and led all areas of finance, including treasury systems and reporting. Peter is also fluent in French and has West African experience from when Nevsun built and operated the Tabakoto mine in Mali.
"We are excited to have Peter join our strengthened team as Chief Financial Officer and we are delighted to be able to attract someone with Peter's hands-on operational experience and skills to True Gold. As we transition into a gold producer, we feel it's important to continue to build upon the operational and African mining experience, and French language skills, within the corporate team. Peter will play a key role in achieving our goal of building a mid-tier producer," stated Christian Milau, CEO of True Gold.
Peter stated, "True Gold is well positioned for future growth under its strong leadership. I'm excited to join the team and be a part of the Company's next chapter."
Peter Hardie replaces Ryan Torvik as CFO, who has been with the company since the pre-feasibility stage at Karma. "Ryan has been an integral part of the True Gold team since its early days, and has helped advance Karma through its development stage to where it is today. We thank Ryan for his hard work and wish him well in his future endeavours."
