ATHA Energy Corp (CSE:SASK, OTCQB:SASKF) told investors it has appointed Ryan Gaffney, former Canaccord Genuity (TSX:CF, LSE:CF) managing director, as the company’s new senior vice president, for business development.
Gaffney worked between Canadian and UK capital markets from 2002 to 2015 whilst at Canaccord Genuity (TSX:CF, LSE:CF), and he also has had directorships in natural resource companies such as Auroch Minerals and Canadian Overseas Petroleum Limited (LSE:COPL, CSE:XOP, OTC:VELXF).
The company highlighted that Gaffney has extensive experience providing corporate finance services to mining and oil and gas companies including debt, equity and M&A origination and advice.
“We are very fortunate to welcome Mr Gaffney and his decades of capital markets and resource experience to the ATHA team, as we continue to place an emphasis on putting together a world-class team of experienced professionals,” CEO Troy Boisjoli said.
“Looking ahead, we believe ATHA’s dominant land position in multiple high-grade uranium basins allows us to execute ATHA’s exploration and development strategy from a position of strength and are very excited about how the addition of Mr Gaffney will help us leverage this generational opportunity in the uranium sector.”
