Emperor Metals (AUOZ) has appointed John Florek to the role of President, CEO and Director of the company.
The appointment takes effect from November 1, 2022.
Florek will replace Alex Horsley, who will continue with Emperor in a corporate development role and as a director.
Florek holds an M.Sc. from Queens University and has been active in the mining industry for over 30 years in technical and senior management capacities for major and junior mining companies, including roles as Founder, Director and VP Exploration.
He has served as Emperor’s due diligence consultant and “qualified person” for its recent option agreement to acquire the Duquesne West project from Globex.
Florek’s work affiliations within major mining companies include BHP, Placer Dome, Barrick/Teck, KL Gold, and Agnico Eagle.
He has helped to identify and develop significant asset value for grassroots and advanced projects and mines.
Most recently, as Geological Superintendent at Detour Lake Gold Mine from 2016 to 2021, his team was instrumental in developing the ore deposit into a significant generational mine acquired by Agnico Eagle Mines.
“Emperor is pleased to welcome John Florek to the senior management team,” said the outgoing President and CEO, Alex Horsley.
“His preliminary reinterpretation of the existing model using artificial intelligence and machine learning technologies was key in identifying a unique opportunity for wealth creation,” he added.
Emperor Metals Inc. is a mineral-exploration company focused on gold projects in Canada’s Canadian Shield.
Emperor Metals Inc. was unchanged at $0.15 at 10:34: ET.
