Condor Resources Inc. (TSX-V:CN, OTC:CNRIF) said it has re-appointed renowned exploration geologist Dr Quinton Hennigh to its board of directors.
Hennigh previously served as a director of the company from June 2020 to August 2021 and the company said he has been a supportive advisor and shareholder since 2020.
CEO Chris Buncic expressed his delight to welcome Hennigh back to the board and said in a statement that his "knowledge, experience and support will be of great benefit to the company and its shareholders as we advance our plans at our priority projects and beyond".
Hennigh, who is CEO of private silver miner San Cristobal Mining and co-chairman of Novo Resources after a career that ranges from Barrick, Newcrest and Newmont to First Mining Gold, Kirkland Lake Gold and Lion One, said: "I have continually followed the company's progress at Pucamayo, and am excited to see what the future holds for the company.
"I have a great respect for Ever Marquez, Condor's vice president of exploration, whom I have worked with on two occasions, at Newcrest Mining during the 1990s and at Newmont Mining during the 2000s, and find him to be an exceptional explorer credited with discovering the Breapampa high sulfidation gold deposit in southern Peru and the Rio Blanco copper porphyry deposit in northern Peru. Mr. Marquez is particularly knowledgeable about high sulfidation gold systems."
Hennigh, who has a PhD in geology and geochemistry from the Colorado School of Mines, said: "When Ever and I visited Pucamayo, I instantly recognized that he has discovered what is arguably one of the best early exploration-stage high sulfidation systems left in Peru.
"High level, vapour-phase alteration underlies an area of at least six square kilometers indicating presence of a very large hydrothermal system. Within a small erosional window through this high-level alteration, Ever and his team discovered outcropping vuggy silica and silica breccias carrying appreciable gold and silver.
"The results of the recent drill program seem to confirm the thesis of a hydro-magmatic center with gold and silver mineralization within an epithermal-type mineralization of high to intermediate sulfidation with continued indications of an underlying porphyry. The expansion of the DIA to the south east should open up continued opportunity to make a significant new discovery in Peru on part of the large strongly altered footprint that remains untested."
