Arizona Gold & Silver Inc (TSX-V:AZS) announced it has appointed Cathy Fitzgerald as a technical advisor to the company.
Fitzgerald is an executive and geoscientist with more than 20 years of resource experience in technical and leadership roles which advanced exploration and development projects across various commodities including copper, gold, silver, lithium, and diamonds.
She currently serves as president, chief geologist and director of South Pacific Metals, which is advancing four copper-gold porphyry projects in Papua New Guinea.
Arizona Gold & Silver CEO Mike Stark said Fitzgerald would assist in the advancement of its flagship asset, the Philadelphia property, which the company believes is the largest low sulfidation gold-silver system in Arizona.
“Cathy brings fresh ideas and additional credibility to the company with her wide range of work experience and proven success,” Stark said.
“She has a lot of insight, skill and expertise to offer. She has expressed several times that we are currently focusing on a small part of what could be a very large system on our Philadelphia property. We look forward to having Cathy as part of our team as we explore the full potential of the Philadelphia property.”
Fitzgerald expressed her excitement about the appointment and the Philadelphia project’s potential.
“The team, under the leadership of VP Exploration Greg Hahn, has done excellent work defining a robust gold-bearing vein system with significant strike length at their Philadelphia project,” Fitzgerald said.
“What excites me even more there is the untapped potential of this project, as there is compelling evidence of a larger mineralized system there. I see exciting times ahead for the company and am pleased to be part of it.”
