Sun Silver appoints former chief geologist of Barrick
US-focused Sun Silver on Tuesday announced the appointment of Keith Woods as exploration manager, further strengthening the company’s technical team as it advances the Maverick Springs silver/gold project in Nevada.
In his role, Wood will be responsible for overseeing all in-country exploration activities at Maverick Springs, with a focus on resource growth and upgrading the current resource to the indicated category.
Further, he will lead the collection of metallurgical composites to support future development studies, ensuring a comprehensive understanding of the deposit's mineralisation and processing characteristics.
Sun Silver MD Andrew Dornan commented that Wood’s appointment brought an “exceptional level of expertise in resource expansion and discovery, particularly in Nevada”.
“Having served as chief exploration geologist at Barrick and Nevada Gold Mines, Keith has a deep understanding of the region's geology and the skills to drive exploration success. His deep technical expertise, strong leadership, and proven track record in Nevada align perfectly with our strategy to advance Maverick Springs as a leading silver asset,” stated Dornan.
The Maverick Springs project, which is proximal to the prolific Carlin Trend, hosts an inferred mineral resource of 218-million tonnes, grading 42.2 g/t silver and 0.31 g/t gold for 296.5-million ounces of contained silver and 2.2-million ounces of contained gold.
Sun Silver is listed on the ASX.
