Colombia Crest Gold Corp. is a gold exploration company with nearly 300 square kilometres of mineral title at the San Simon project in northeastern Bolivia. The structures that host gold mineralization on the property are geologically identical to some of the major well-known quartz vein gold deposits and gold shoots, such as those found in Western Africa. The company has identified three areas at San Simon with open-pit and underground gold resource potential. Colombia crest’s mandate is to increase shareholder value by systematically exploring, developing and monetizing the San Simon gold project, followed by new gold acquisitions in Colombia.
Eaglecrest Explorations appoints Carl Hansen to board of directors
Eaglecrest Explorations (TSX-V: EEL, FSE: EAT) has appointed Carl B Hansen to its Board of Directors. Hansen previously co-founded Andina Minerals (TSX: ADM) and is currently President and CEO of the privately-owned Chile operating gold explorer, Atacama Pacific Gold Corp.
"Carl is a very talented geologist with extensive experience and success exploring the Andes Mountains of South America. He also brings a depth of experience in managing and financing exploration companies”, Eaglecrest President and Chief Operating Officer, Hans Rasmussen commented. “His addition will be a tremendous asset to Eaglecrest as we move towards more institutional and retail-based financing in Canada to develop our projects in Colombia and Bolivia".
Hansen has over 20 years of experience in the exploration and mining industry, with various exploration, operational and head office positions in both junior exploration and senior mining companies including Vale Inco (NYSE: VALE), Kinross (NYSE: KGC) and TVX Gold.
Eaglecrest’s primary strategy looks to acquire and explore strategic gold and gold-copper projects in the central Cordillera of Colombia. The company’s first Colombian project is the newly acquired 18,000-hectare Fredonia area, which is located in 40km south of Medellin.
The company’s other asset, the San Simon Project in Bolivia overlies the same mineralized belt that hosts the 1.6 million ounce Sao Francisco gold deposit in Brazil. Eaglecrest has mineral titles covering some 300km₂ at the San Simon project. Eaglecrest has previously undertaken considerable development work in Bolivia and reported the expansion of surface high-grade gold zones at the San Simon’s Buriti gold target in June 2009.
