I am extremely proud of our entire team for this past year’s accomplishments during a challenging market environment, with special recognition for the work of President Eric Saderholm. We also thank our shareholders and partners, alongside the Canadian Securities Exchange and OTC Markets, for their support as American Pacific continues to evolve into a highly regarded mining venture worthy to compete at these levels of the industry.”
Smith continued, “The Platts Global Metals Awards nominations affirm the continued growth and success at the high-grade, past-producing Madison Copper-Gold Project in Montana in joint venture partnership with Rio Tinto’s Kennecott Exploration. The nominations also shine a well-deserved spotlight on our two high-grade properties in Nevada, the Gooseberry Silver-Gold Project and the Tuscarora Gold-Silver Project. Together with our recently announced transaction to acquire the high-grade zinc-copper-gold-silver volcanic massive sulfide Palmer Project in Alaska, which is at the preliminary economic assessment stage, these projects speak to our vision for continued growth this year and beyond.”
