Outcrop Gold Appoints Vice President of Exploration
Vancouver, November 25, 2019 - Outcrop Gold Corp. (TSXV: OCG) ("Outcrop" or the "Company") is pleased to introduce David Thomas as the Company's new Vice President of Exploration.
Mr. Thomas is a key addition to Outcrop Gold and will manage and direct all exploration activities in Colombia and provide hands on guidance to the Company team in Medellin, Colombia.
David's first task will be to work with our Country and Exploration manager Diego Barrientos to design and fine-tune the drill program planned for December on the Santa Ana project with the use of 3D modeling software. Deposit modeling is a specialty of David's and for the Santa Ana drill test it is critical to spatially connect core holes with their respective targeted vein zones.
CEO and President Joseph Hebert says: "Importantly, Outcrop has been too long without a Vice President of Exploration and David Thomas will be critical to Company successes going forward."
David will be doing technical reviews of Outcrop's entire portfolio as well as always being on the hunt for new opportunities. He will also work actively to find funding partners for our portfolio. David has entrepreneurial talents, thus in additional to a strong technical background he also brings business development skills to the table.
