U.S. GoldMining has appointed Barry Olson as a special advisor to the company.
“U.S. GoldMining is thrilled to welcome Barry Olson as a special advisor as we advance towards delivering the first initial assessment study (PEA) on our Whistler Gold-Copper Project in Alaska. Barry’s valuable experience, in successfully building and operating large-scale mines throughout the Americas, is an important addition to the U.S. GoldMining team as we advance studies which we believe could unlock opportunities to develop a robust potential future mining opportunity,” said Alastair Still, chair of the board of directors of U.S. GoldMining.
“Having recently announced a state of Alaska led transformative access initiative that would directly connect the Whistler Project with existing transportation and energy infrastructure within the greater Anchorage region of Southcentral Alaska and combined with the launch of our 2025 exploration campaign that will explore multiple targets across our mineral district-scale Whistler Project land package, we are excited about the near-term and long-term opportunities to advance development of the Whistler Project,” added Still.
Barry Olson is an experienced mining industry leader with an established track record of successfully managing and developing multi-billion-dollar international mining projects, including leading the development of Peñasquito, one of Mexico’s largest open pit mines, currently operated by Newmont, the world’s largest gold producer. Olson is currently on the advisory committee for Agnico Eagle Mines, serves as a director of Discovery Silver, and was previously a director of Kirkland Lake Gold until it was acquired by Agnico Eagle. Olson has more than 30 years’ experience in senior management and leading teams in key phases of large-scale mining projects including engineering, construction, start-up and operations.
U.S. GoldMining is an exploration and development company focused on advancing the 100 percent owned Whistler Gold-Copper Project, located 105 miles (170 kilometers) northwest of Anchorage, Alaska. The Whistler Project consists of several gold-copper porphyry deposits and exploration targets within a large regional land package entirely on state of Alaska mining claims totaling approximately 53,700 acres.
