TriStar Gold (TSG) has appointed Ms. Jessica Van Den Akker to the Board of Directors as an independent director.

Jessica will also spend time as a chairperson of the audit committee while working with TriStar Gold.

Brian Irwin will step down from the Board of Directors but will act as a corporate secretary going forward.

TriStar’s President and CEO Nick Appleyard speaks to Jessica’s experience and is thankful for the time Irwin has dedicated to TriStar.

“First, I would like to thank Brian for all the years he has given this company, and I am glad we will still receive the benefits of his wisdom and experience through his role as corporate secretary,” says Appleyard.

In closing, Appleyard continued; “Jessica’s addition to the Board increases Board independence and brings a skill set related to auditing and financial reporting that strengthens the board and particularly the audit committee.” 

Van Den Akker has been given 300 thousand stock options through this new role, which are granted for a 5-year period starting on January 8, 2021.

Each option will allow Van Den Akker to purchase TriStar’s common share at an exercise price of C$0.27 and vest immediately.

On December 18, 2020, as a new Director, Eric Zaunscherb was also awarded 300,000 options for a 5-year period with an exercise price of $0.245.

As for the current details of Castelo de Sonhos, the two RC rigs and one core rig are currently drilling at Castelo de Sonhos.

TriStar has approximately 20,000m of drilling planned in the current 2021 program, most of which is for exploration.

Due to the pandemic’s impact, TriStar is seeing a slower assay turnaround from the laboratories and international experts on site.

TriStar states that this will not affect their exploration activity drilling the new artificial intelligence generated targets, but it could cause delays in the pre-feasibility if it continues.

TriStar Gold is an exploration and development focused mining company focused on precious metals properties in the Americas. The flagship property for TriStar is currently located in Castelo de Sonhos in Parà State, Brazil.

TriStar is in the gray and is sitting at C$0.27 per share at 12:30 pm EST.
