Rockridge Resources Ltd. has appointed Grant Ewing as chief executive officer.
Grant Ewing is a professional geologist with more than 25 years of experience in the mineral industry and the last 10+ years in senior executive roles. His extensive knowledge base covers the entire mine development cycle, from early stage exploration through to production, in several different commodities. Strong merger and acquisitions, corporate development, and capital markets knowledge complement Mr. Ewing’s mineral industry experience.
Grant Ewing has been involved in exploration and development of base metals projects (predominantly copper) and has experience managing successful exploration and resource development programs in Canada. He holds a Bachelor of Science, Geology from the University of Calgary.
Recently, he was president and CEO of Kiska Metals (2014 to 2017) until it was acquired by AuRico Metals, where he continued as vice president Exploration of AuRico Metals until it was acquired by Centerra Gold for approximately $300 million. Prior to that, he was president and CEO of Acadian Mining (2010 to 2014) until its sale to an international mining company. Atlantic Gold later acquired and is currently developing the projects that Acadian advanced through the discovery and resource development stages.
“I am excited to join the Rockridge team, and focus on building shareholder value by advancing the Knife Lake project, and growing the company’s asset base through strategic acquisitions. The Knife Lake project is a significant deposit with many high grade intercepts returned from historic drilling, and excellent discovery potential exists on the large landholding controlled by Rockridge,” said Grant Ewing.
“We would like to welcome Mr. Ewing to the Rockridge team as our new CEO. He has a very impressive track record in the mineral exploration and mining industry both as a geologist as well as in executive and management roles where he has helped to oversee several mergers and acquisitions. He will be a highly valued part of the team given his experience and we look forward to working with him as we advance our project base,” said Jordan Trimble, founder and president.
