"Ralph's experience in corporate development and international transactions will be invaluable as we look to build a leading gold producer in South America.”
"I wish to thank Mario Caron for his leadership and dedication to the development of our company, exemplified by the recent successful commissioning of Orosur’s first underground mine at Arenal Deeps in Uruguay and the acquisition of the prospective ‘Mina Talca’ exploration properties in Chile."
Browning is also chairman of London quoted GMA Resources Plc, the firm said today.
Caron joined the Orosur board as chairman in October 2009. He has recently been appointed as CEO of Aldridge Minerals Inc. and is stepping down to dedicate more time to this role, the firm said.
Last week, Orosur revealed that the capital and operating costs of its Pantanillo Norte project in Chile will be in the order of US$178 million, according to a PEA of the planned gold mine.
