International Tower Hill Mines taps new leadership team to advance Livengood COURTESY INTERNATIONAL TOWER HILL MINES
Donlin supports scholarship opportunities
I nternational Tower Hill Mines is reshaping its executive leadership as it prepares to move Alaska's Livengood Gold Project into its next stage of development, naming mining finance veteran David Wiens as chief executive officer and industry operations leader Shane Parrow as president and chief operating officer. The appointments are designed to strengthen the company's ability to complete a feasibility study, advance permit- ting, secure financing and ultimately develop one of the largest undeveloped gold deposits in the United States. The leadership transition comes as the Vancouver-based company positions Livengood for a more development-fo- cused phase. Located approximately 70 miles north of Fairbanks along the Elliott Highway, the project hosts an estimated 13.6 million ounces of gold resources and bene- fits from nearby transportation and utility infrastructure. Wiens will assume the roles of CEO and director effective Aug. 17, while Parrow joined the company as president, COO and director July 27. Current CEO Karl Hanneman will
transition into the role of strategic advisor while remaining on the company's board of directors to support the lead- ership handoff and continued advancement of Livengood. Wiens brings more than 20 years of experience in mining finance, capital markets and corporate leadership. Most recently, he served as chief financial officer of Asante Gold, where he led approximately $1 billion in financing transac- tions that supported the company's growth into a mid-tier gold producer. Earlier in his career, he held executive posi- tions with SSR Mining and Bunker Hill Mining and worked as a mining investment banker with Deutsche Bank. Parrow brings nearly three decades of engineering, oper- ations and mine development experience. Most recently, he served as vice president and general manager of Kinross Alaska, overseeing both the Fort Knox Mine and the Manh Choh operation. He played a key leadership role in bringing the Manh Choh project into production on schedule and within budget while exceeding feasibil- ity expectations.
During the Calista Education & Culture Golf Classic this summer, Donlin Gold contributed $100,000 to help expand scholarship opportunities for Calista Shareholders and Descendants. Donlin "believes education and workforce training play an important role in creating lasting opportunities for individuals, families, and com- munities throughout the region." Thank you to everyone who helps make these opportunities possible!
