Aurvista Gold Corporation has appointed Matthew Hornor as President and CEO. Hornor is an executive leader with a proven track record in the legal, financial and business development arenas. He has extensive expertise in structuring and negotiating complex strategic partnerships and raising capital having worked within the Ivanhoe group of companies for over ten years.

Matthew Hornor recently served as the vice president and executive vice president for Ivanhoe Mines Ltd. for 10 years. During his time at Ivanhoe Mines Ltd. he negotiated project financings for development projects with international banking syndicates, structured strategic alliances and directly negotiated equity capital raises totaling more than $450 million. Hornor also acted as managing director for Ivanhoe Capital Corporation for 10 years, and sat as chairman for Ivanplats Holding SARL (owner of the Platreef project) for more than 4 years.

While serving as the president and CEO of Kaizen Discovery Inc. from 2013 until 2016, Hornor successfully structured multiple resource project acquisitions, equity financings and delivered a collaboration agreement with ITOCHU Corporation, a prominent Japanese trading and investment house. Fluent in Japanese, Hornor began his mining career in Japan after first traveling there 27 years ago. Hornor makes frequent business trips to Tokyo, where he maintains strong relationships with top management at major corporations, mining companies, investment firms and trading houses.

“I am thrilled to join the Aurvista family. I believe that this project holds significant upside not just for the company’s shareholders but for all its stakeholders, and I’m honored to lead the company through this period of exploration and growth. I am proud of the dedication and commitment Aurvista’s employees have demonstrated and am confident the time is right for that hard work to start paying dividends,” said Aurvista’s president and CEO, Matthew Hornor.

In a corresponding move, Jean Lafleur, M. Sc., P. Geo., will transition into the vice-president, exploration role and focus on managing the exploration programs necessary to bring the Douay Gold Project to the next level.

“We are all excited to have someone of Matthew Hornor’s caliber joining our team. His experience speaks for itself, and having his corporate, capital markets and project financing leadership will help us accelerate the company’s growth and true value. I look forward to leading our exploration team in Quebec and working with our group to define the ultimate extent of gold mineralization at Douay,” said Aurvista’s VP exploration, Jean Lafleur.
