Trilogy Metals Inc. has announced the expansion of its advisory and leadership teams following an investment by the US federal government to advance exploration and development of the Upper Kobuk Mineral Projects (UKMP) in northwestern Alaska. The company's joint venture with South32 Limited, Ambler Metals, is expected to see accelerated mine permitting and project activity. As a result, the management team is being augmented to strengthen oversight of the joint venture.
The recent appointments include Egizio Bianchini as a strategic advisor, bringing with him a distinguished career in mining investment banking and extensive experience advising and financing mining companies globally. Olav Langelaar has been appointed Vice President of Corporate Development, leveraging over 30 years of experience in Canadian capital markets and international mining. Matthew Keevil has been appointed Vice President of Investor Relations and Business Development, with more than 20 years of experience in capital markets and corporate affairs in the global mining sector. Kimberly Lim has been appointed Director of Corporate Communications, bringing over 15 years of experience supporting and advising natural resources, technology, and ag-tech companies.
The company's vision is to develop the Ambler Mining District into a premier North American copper producer while protecting and respecting subsistence livelihoods. Trilogy Metals Inc. holds a 50 percent interest in Ambler Metals LLC, which in turn has a 100 percent interest in the UKMP, one of the richest and most-prospective known copper-dominant districts in the world.
The company's website, trilogymetals.com, will soon feature a refreshed design and provide enhanced access to corporate updates and investor information.
