Prosper Gold Appoints Colin Burge as Advisor
September 18 2024 - 7:00AM
Prosper Gold Corp. ("
Prosper Gold" or the
"
Company") (TSXV:PGX) is pleased to announce the
appointment of Colin Burge as an Adviser to the Company effective
immediately.
“We are delighted to add Colin as an Advisor to
the Company. As you will read, Colin brings a wealth of porphyry
knowledge and expertise to our team,” commented Peter Bernier, CEO.
“We look forward to Colin’s expert engagement and assistance in
guiding exploration at the Cyprus Project and future development
opportunities for the Company.”
Mr. Burge is a discovery-oriented exploration
geologist who retired from a 30-year career with First Quantum
Minerals, Inmet Mining and predecessor companies in 2016. Colin was
part of the Inmet corporate development team and led on-site
geological activities that resulted in the discovery and
delineation of 30 billion pounds of copper at the Cobre Panama
Project. This led to First Quantum’s $5 billion acquisition of the
company.
Prior to his porphyry copper work in Panama,
Colin managed exploration activities at the world class Cayeli
copper-rich volcanogenic massive sulphide deposit in northeast
Turkey. He has also carried out project work in Peru, Australia,
Nevada and Greece and began his career with Falconbridge Copper in
British Columbia.
Colin has strong technical skills in the
application of exploration technologies and has since retirement
been engaged in property evaluations on behalf of senior and junior
mining companies in Canada and the US. Colin graduated from the
University of Waterloo with Bachelor of Earth Science in 1981.
“I am excited to work with the team at Prosper
as exploration progresses at the Cyprus Copper Project. The recent
ZTEM survey results are encouraging given the characteristics of
the anomalies and the presence of copper-gold mineralization
elsewhere on the project,” commented Colin Burge, “I have utilized
ZTEM geophysical survey data to aid in porphyry copper-gold
discoveries in the past and have found under the right conditions
the data can be highly effective.”
The company also announces that it has granted
150,000 stock options (“Options”) to the chief financial officer of
the Company and an aggregate of 350,000 Options to certain advisors
and employees of the Company. Each Option is exercisable at a price
of $0.15 per share for a period of five years and will vest equally
every six months over a two-year period. The Options have been
granted in accordance with the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange
and the conditions of the company's stock option plan.
