Goldrush appoints VP of exploration
Vancouver-based Goldrush Resources (CVE:GOD) said today that it has appointed Driffield Cameron to the position of vice president of exploration.
Cameron has acted as an advisor and director of Goldrush since its introduction to Burkina Faso in 2006, and has been involved in exploration in that country for over 15 years.
Cameron, who graduated with a B.Sc. in Geology from Acadia University, in Nova Scotia, started on July 1, and will be based at the company’s Toronto office.
In his new role, Cameron will lead the company's exploration team that includes newly appointed Burkina Faso-based Chief Geologist John Learn, four other full-time geologists and a staff of 16 local employees.
The team is aiming to accelerate the development of the company’s flagship Ronguen gold deposit, to advance Goldrush's other exploration properties and to acquire more advanced-stage exploration properties in West Africa.
Cameron has previously worked for ASARCO Exploration Company of Canada, Gold Fields Canadian Mining, Geologic Associates and High River Gold Mines.
He played a lead role in the teams responsible for the discovery of High River’s Taparko gold deposit in Burkina Faso, the Dunlop #3 gold deposit of the New Britannia Mine in Manitoba and the Springpole gold deposit in Ontario.
"With an exploration focused company like Goldrush, it is the quality of the exploration staff that will determine the success of the company,” said Goldrush’s president and CEO, Len Brownlie.
“Given the combined track record of gold deposit discoveries made by Driff and members of his team, we look forward to a very exciting future for Goldrush and its shareholders."
