Board of Directors
Margaux is pleased to announce the appointment of Mr. Chris Stewart as an Independent Director, effective July 11, 2018. He originally joined the Company’s advisory committee in November 2016. Mr. Stewart brings over 26 years of diversified experience in the mining industry, 15 years working with mining contractors and 11 years working with mining companies. He is currently the President and CEO of Treasury Metals Inc..
Prior to joining Treasury Metals, Mr. Stewart was the Vice President of Operations for Kirkland Lake Gold, where he was responsible for mining and milling operations of the company. Before joining Kirkland Lake Gold, he served as President and CEO of Liberty Mines Inc., as well as serving in various positions at BHP Billiton, DMC Mining Services and Lake Shore Gold Corporation.
“Chris is a valuable addition and an excellent complement to our Board given his extensive mining experience. We believe his guidance, governance experience and record of delivering operational excellence and corporate growth will further support Margaux’s consolidation and development strategy through good governance and guidance,” stated Margaux’s Chairman, Jim Letwin.
Mr. Stewart will be replacing Mr. Edward Lawrence, who will be stepping down from the Board after four years as a Director with the Company and many decades of involvement with the Company assets.
