VANCOUVER, BC, Nov. 29, 2022 /PRNewswire/ – Awalé Resources Limited (“Awalé” or the “Company”) (TSXV: ARIC) is pleased to announce the strengthening of its Board of Directors with the appointment of Mr. Robin Birchall as independent Non-Executive Chair with immediate effect.
Mr. Birchall brings more than twenty years of experience in the financing and management of resource companies. Mr. Birchall was most recently Chief Executive Officer & Director at Giyani Metals Corp. Before that he was the Executive Chair of Silver Bear Resources. Mr. Birchall is also a Non-Executive Director of Helium One Global (February -2020 – present). Previous roles include former Chief Executive Officer of a private oil and gas E&P company as well as Vice President Investment & Corporate Banking with BMO Capital Markets, where he completed a variety of high-profile transactions for resource companies. Prior to BMO Capital Markets, Mr. Birchall was Vice President Corporate Finance at Canaccord Adams Ltd.
Mr. Birchall earned an MBA from the University of Cape Town, a MSc in European and International Politics from Edinburgh University, a Première Degré en Langues Literature et Civilisation, from Stendahl Université and a BA from Queens University.
Robin Birchall, Non-Executive Chair, commented:
“I am delighted to be joining the Board of Awalé at a time when it is positioning for significant growth and towards becoming a significant resource building gold and copper/gold company. The Company has all the ingredients for success including a top-quality management team, excellent prospective assets in Côte d’Ivoire and, with the potential addition of the Suriname assets, an entirely new underexplored province in which to apply its capabilities in conjunction with the current team. I am looking forward to assisting Awalé and more particularly Glen and his management team to accelerate the exploration programmes and help turn Awalé into a significant resource builder.”
Glen Parsons, Chief Executive Officer, commented:
“As Awalé advances to the next stage of becoming a successful resource building company, I look forward to working with Robin and leveraging off his extensive company building and capital markets experience. Awalé is on the cusp of significant transformation and a strengthening of the Board forms part of our commitment to accelerate the exploration programmes in both Suriname and Côte d’Ivoire.”
Awalé is an exploration company focused on the discovery of large high-grade gold and copper-gold deposits. The Company currently undertakes exploration activities in the underexplored parts of Côte d’Ivoire. Awalé’s success to date at the Odienné Project in the Northwest of Côte d’Ivoire has culminated in a fully funded earn-in Joint Venture with Newmont (the “Newmont JV”) covering the Odienné Project where two primary targets for world-class discoveries have been made: i) the gold-rich Empire corridor and ii) the recently defined Charger, Sceptre and now Lando Iron Oxide Copper Gold (“IOCG”) targets. Parts of the remaining 200km2 of granted tenure and 400km2 under application remains underexplored and offers significant IOCG potential. The Newmont JV forms the solid foundation for Awalé to continue looking at new opportunities in new jurisdictions which offer significant potential for district scale discoveries. Awalé is currently in the process of completing the acquisition of Colossal Gold Resources, a private company with a highly prospective gold exploration portfolio in Suriname, which provides an excellent strategic fit and future growth potential for Awalé.
