El Capitan Precious Metals Announces Transaction-Focused Reorganization
El Capitan Precious Metals Inc., (OTCQB: ECPN) announced today that the Company has reorganized its management team to be highly transaction focused in anticipation of current opportunities, negotiations, and agreements.
John F. Stapleton, the current Chairman of the Board of Directors, will continue as Chairman and assume the roles of Chief Executive Officer and President to create a single point of focus to address the potential transactions with which the Company is currently engaged. Stapleton is working in close support to David Davidson who leads mining and recovery operations for El Capitan. Arly Richau, General Counsel, will drive the contracting activity. Steve Antol, as Chief Financial Officer, continues to support the financial analysis, as well as public filings and reporting. Each of these team members understands the operating targets and the role each needs to play in order to close a transaction.
The Company is relying heavily on an extremely talented Board of Directors. Clyde Smith, PhD, the geology expert on the property, will provide his expertise and knowledge of the property derived from his work on the original and the updated 43-101 reports. Tim Gay offers years of experience in the world of large equity transactions and corporate governance. Our newest director, Danny Martinez, has worked with our New Mexico-based counsel and has experience in dealing with leased and patented land. We have needed and sought this specific expertise and know that it will be invaluable in executing the transactions the Company anticipates.
Chuck Mottley, after many years of leading the operations of the Company, will become President, Emeritus. He will remain on the board and continue to contribute by promoting the Company through his extensive contacts in the mining industry. “This run to the goal line is a team effort,” said Stapleton, “with each of us employing our specific skills and experience in support of each other, the Company, and its shareholders.”
The Company is currently involved in the late stages of negotiations and expects to announce its first major transaction prior to the Shareholders’ Meeting on September 28, 2016 at The Inn of the Mountain Gods in Ruidoso, New Mexico.
