US Gold Corp (NASDAQ:USAU) has tapped Ken Murray of Captrics Consulting to lead the final phases of study work and develop a project execution plan for its CK Gold Project in Wyoming, it said Tuesday.
Murray, a veteran with over 25 years of experience in capital projects across the mining and technology sectors, will coordinate engineering efforts with the firm’s Engineering, Procurement, and Construction Management (EPCM) partner, and oversee all aspects of execution planning.
"We are very pleased to have found Ken Murray, who we recently sent to the CK Gold Project site to conduct a review of the work done to date,” said US Gold CEO George Bee in a statement.
“Ken will work with the firms and consultants that have participated in advancing the project to date and bring attention to detail and execution, leveraging his vast recent experience in project optimization and delivery.”
The CK Gold Project, located near Cheyenne, is seen as a near-term development opportunity with access to established infrastructure and a local skilled workforce.
Murray has held leadership roles at companies such as Ausenco, SNC-Lavalin, and DRA Global, and has consulted for clients including BHP, Goldcorp, and New Gold. Through Captrics Consulting, he has most recently worked with firms including Alamos Gold, Electra Battery Materials, and Hudbay.
“US Gold has reached another pivotal moment,” said Bee. “As the CK Gold Project advances toward development, the company’s objective over the coming months will be to grow the team and expand its expertise to ensure delivery of a streamlined CK Gold Project—on time and on budget—into a market with growing domestic demand for copper and gold.”
