New CEO to Lead Blackwolf
By North of 60 Mining News As it enters into an accelerated period of growth, Blackwolf Copper and Gold Ltd. has made an offer to buy out Northern British Columbia-focused gold and silver exploration company Optimum Ventures Ltd. and is shifting management positions to better facilitate the surplus of properties it has accumulated in recent years. Initially exploring its flagship historic Niblack copper- gold-silver-zinc project located on the southern end of Prince of Wales Island in Southeast Alaska, Blackwolf expanded its holdings by staking and optioning several new properties near Hyder, Alaska, just across the border from Stewart, British Columbia. During the past two years, Blackwolf has expanded its portfolio with five projects near Hyder, Alaska, on the Alaska-Canada border — Casey, Cantoo, Texas Creek, Mineral Hill and Rooster — that host several highly prospective gold-silver targets with very limited modern exploration and virtually none in the last 25 years. Due to the predicted growth of the company,
TEMSCO As executive chairman, McLeod will be responsible for guiding the board, directing exploration programs, co-developing the strategic direction, and working closely with the new CEO on transformational growth opportunities. With 17 years of mining and industry experience in progressively senior roles of executive management, project management, operations, and engineering management, Lekstrom is well suited to fill the executive position at Blackwolf. Most recently, Lekstrom served as CEO of Tearlach Resources Ltd., a lithium company he helped grow from grassroots to a multi-asset company. Prior to Tearlach, Lekstrom was President and CEO of Silver Hammer Mining Corp. and a co-founder of a publicly traded uranium company. Blackwolf felt it necessary to readjust its management positions to better suit the exploration and development of its swelling portfolio. This bolstering of expertise includes bringing on Morgan Lekstrom to replace Rob McLeod as CEO of Blackwolf.
