His appointment comes just as the company posted drill results from last year's exploration at the flagship Gold Drop project in British Columbia, which included 12.6 grams per tonne gold over 0.3 metres in a hole at the Perky vein.
"The Greenwood area has a rich and successful history of mining, and I am excited to continue to further advance and develop the Gold Drop property and realize its full potential, as President of GGX Gold Corp. (TSX-V:GGX)” said Field-Dyte in a statement. “With an exploration plan and team in place, I look forward to the upcoming drilling program set to begin in the next couple of months.”
He added that the company “will also be evaluating additional precious metal assets within the region to enhance shareholder value."
