The Company also announces that Brett Marsh, currently serving as President, has been appointed Chief Executive Officer and Director of the Board.
“With the successful acquisition of the Eagle Project in Nevada and the completion of a $2,250,000 private placement to fund exploration programs, I believe this is the right time to appoint Brett Marsh—an experienced mining and exploration geologist—as CEO and Director to guide the Company to the next level,” said William Pettigrew.
Brett Marsh added, “I would like to thank Bill and Ryan for their leadership and efforts in positioning Spartan Metals for success. I am excited to lead the Company into the next phase of growth as we advance our 100%-owned tungsten-silver-rubidium Eagle Project in eastern Nevada.
