Canada Silver Cobalt Works has promoted Matt Halliday, P.Geo., to the position of president and chief operating officer.
Halliday will direct and supervise all project operations for Canada Silver Cobalt in his new role as president and COO. He will also immediately further build out the geological, engineering, and environmental team with the goal of completing permitting and construction of a ramp to the rich Robinson Zone in 2021.
Matt Halliday first joined Canada Silver Cobalt late last year from Kirkland Lake Gold where he served as resource geologist. A graduate of Dalhousie University in 2007, Halliday honed his skills for almost eight years with SGS Geostat, known as global leaders in orebody modelling and reserve evaluation. In 2016 he was part of the SGS team that pushed machine learning into the geological realm and claimed top prize in the $1 million Integra Gold Challenge.
For more than a dozen years Halliday has focused on resource reporting and modelling while also gaining abundant experience with advanced field exploration including major drill programs in Ontario, Quebec, Newfoundland-Labrador, Nunavut, and Alaska. With SGS he also enjoyed success in a business development capacity.
“I’m excited to take on new and expanded responsibilities to help guide Canada Silver Cobalt to the next level as the leading vertically integrated silver-cobalt company in a prolific district that stretches for 130 km,” said Matt Halliday.
“We not only have the grade at Castle East but the opportunity for tremendous scale given the extent of untested ground in a camp where it appears the oldtimers, despite mining around 70 million ounces of silver, took only the low-hanging ‘fruit’. We’ll have a second drill rig turning by about July 15 as we begin to greatly accelerate this program based on multiple positive indicators,” added Halliday.
“We already have exceptional talent within CCW, which we’ll be harnessing to an even greater extent, but it’s my mission to quickly build a ‘dream team’ that will execute flawlessly for shareholders. This may also include a new VP-exploration as I focus on making sure we deliver on a dynamic vision for this company in Canada’s silver-cobalt heartland. We will use the Castle East discovery in unlocking the value of the adjacent Castle mine and all other company assets including Temiskaming Testing Laboratories, following a path that helped build Agnico Eagle – former operator of the Castle mine - into the mining giant it is today,” concluded Halliday.
