Wedgemount Resources Corp (CSE:WDGY, OTCQB:WDGRF) said on Tuesday it has appointed Simon Clarke to its board of directors.
Clarke has nearly three decades of experience in the energy, mining, and energy technology sectors, Wedgemount told shareholders, and was a co-founder and executive at Osum Oil Sands Corp, which grew into a 20,000-barrel-per-day oil producer before its $400 million acquisition by Waterous Energy Fund in 2021.
He also served as CEO of American Lithium, where he led the company through a period of rapid growth, culminating in a peak market valuation of around $1.2 billion.
“On behalf of everyone at our company, I’m excited to welcome Simon to the team,” said Wedgemount CEO Mark Vanry. “Simon’s experience building Osum from an E&P startup into a mid-tier heavy oil producer will prove invaluable to Wedgemount as we embark on a similar journey.”
Clarke is currently CEO of American Critical Minerals and a director of Myriad Uranium. He holds a law degree from Aberdeen University in Scotland.
