Domestic Metals has appointed Gordon Neal as chief executive officer.
“I am very excited to lead the team at Domestic,” said Gordon Neal.
“The increasing global demand for copper has been reflected in the rising price of the commodity. Add to this the current U.S. administration’s goal of domestic metal production and we can see that Domestic’s Montana-based copper project is well positioned to benefit significantly,” added Neal.
Gordon Neal has had a notable and successful career in the mining and resource sectors. He started as one of the founding members of MAG Silver before moving on to serve as the VP Corporate Development for Silvercorp Metals. Neal subsequently took the role of president of New Pacific Metals and is the former CEO of World Copper Ltd. Neal has raised more than $750 million in the resource sector and serves on multiple metals and mining company boards. He also served as a senior advisor in the Office of the Prime Minister of Canada and is a past member of the board of directors and the Senate of Dalhousie University.
Neal’s appointment follows the resignation of Patricio Varas as CEO. Varas has been integral in rebuilding the company, growing its management expertise, and bringing Domestic’s Smart Creek Project to its current stage of exploration. Varas has stepped down as CEO but will remain with the company as chairman and director, and will continue to support Domestic and its new CEO with bringing the company and the Smart Creek Project forward to its next stage of advancement.
