Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - February 27, 2023) - Newpath Resources Inc. (CSE: PATH) (FSE: 0MZ) (OTC PINK: RDYFF) ("Newpath" or the "Company") announces the appointment of a Chief Operating Officer, Douglas Turnbull.
Mr. Turnbull is a consulting geologist with over 35 years of experience in diamond, precious, and base metal exploration. He holds an Honours Bachelor of Science degree in Geology and is a Qualified Professional Geoscientist recognized by the Engineers and Geoscientists of British Columbia. Mr. Turnbull is the President of Lakehead Geological Services Inc., a geological consulting company based in Vancouver, Canada. Since 1990, Lakehead Geological Services has provided exploration services to exploration and mining companies, including Black Dragon Gold Corp. Oromin Explorations Ltd., Teranga Gold Corp., Adrian Resources Ltd., Prime Explorations Ltd., Buffalo Gold Ltd., and Madison Enterprises Corp. Mr. Turnbull has been part of exploration teams responsible for the exploration and development of the Eskay Creek Gold Deposit in British Columbia, Canada, the Petaquilla Cu-Au Porphyry Deposit in Panama, the Mt. Kare Gold Deposit in Papua New Guinea, the Salave Gold deposit in Spain and the Sabodala/OJVG Deposits in Senegal. Mr. Turnbull has managed or served on the boards of a number of junior exploration and mining companies with assets ranging from early-stage to advanced projects worldwide. Currently, Mr. Turnbull serves as a director on the boards of Forte Minerals Corp. and Select Sands Corp.
"Adding a person of Doug's caliber is an incredible coup for Newpath. We've been working with Doug in a consultant capacity this past year and I'm grateful for his commitment to us on a full-time basis. It affirms the vision we are creating to create value for shareholders. We've encountered very few projects in our target area to which Doug doesn't have a personal connection. In my view, his ability to pick up the phone and talk to contacts and colleagues that have worked on a mineral property before to get to the heart of the challenges is a serious intangible, and I believe it will materially affect our ability to secure projects that could have material upside," stated CEO, Alex McAulay. The Company is now in a solid position to assess grassroots and later-stage projects with an Ontario focus.
As part of Mr. Turnbull's compensation, commencing May 1st, 2023, he will be awarded $10,000 worth of restricted share units of the Company ("RSUs") per month for each month of employment. The monthly grant will be calculated by the closing price of the Company's common shares trading on the Canadian Securities Exchange (the "CSE") on the last day of the preceding month. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company will issue Mr. Turnbull up to a maximum of 1,581,774 RSUs in a given 12-month period. The RSUs will vest as granted and are subject to the Company's 2023 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan.
