Todd Stone appointed AME president, CEO
British Columbia's Association for Mineral Exploration (AME) has named Todd Stone as new president and CEO, effective August 5.
Stone brings a wealth of experience in government and public affairs, having served as MLA for Kamloops – South Thompson for almost 12 years and in the Cabinet portfolios of Minister of Transportation and Infrastructure, Minister Responsible for Emergency Management, as well as Deputy Government House Leader.
After having decided not to seek re-election in the 2024 provincial election, Stone has remained an active voice, appearing on political panels and radio talk shows.
Chairperson Trish Jacques said Stone's appointment followed an extensive search.
"The exploration industry and the AME team will be well served by Stone's broad public and private sector experiences. We are impressed with his commitment to advocate and work collaboratively to protect and promote the interests of mineral explorers and developers creating opportunities and benefits for all British Columbians."
Prior to being elected for the first time in 2013, Stone was founder, president and CEO of iCompass Technologies.
"I'm inspired by AME's mission and legacy of protecting a prosperous landscape for mineral exploration that promotes economic growth in British Columbia, respects Indigenous rights, and ensures environmental sustainability," said Stone.
"I'm energised by the opportunities that BC exploration presents for our province, country and the world and recognise the unprecedented alignment of support across Canada to unlock our natural resources for a more diversified international market. The world needs British Columbia's mineral resources, and AME has a vital role to play working on behalf of our members – big and small – with government and First Nations to ensure British Columbia is positioned as the leading mineral exploration jurisdiction."
