RACKLA METALS APPOINTS SENIOR MINING EXECUTIVE JEFF REINSON TO THE BOARD
Rackla Metals Inc. has appointed Jeff Reinson to the company's board of directors.
Mr. Reinson is a seasoned mining executive with more than 25 years of project, engineering, development and operational leadership experience. His appointment adds significant mine development and operating expertise to Rackla's board at an important time, as the company evaluates the potential of its tungsten assets in the Northwest Territories and the broader opportunity to participate in the redevelopment of a Canadian tungsten district.
Mr. Reinson previously served as vice-president of operations at Burgundy
Diamond Mines, where he oversaw the 24-hour operations of the Ekati diamond mine. Prior to his tenure at Burgundy, he was chief operating
officer at First Mining Gold Corp. He is currently senior vice-president of
development at Li-FT Power Ltd., another critical mineral company.
Throughout his career, Mr. Reinson has held senior leadership and project director roles with internationally recognized mining companies, including Goldcorp, Newmont and Rio Tinto. He holds both a master of science and a bachelor of science in civil engineering from the University of Saskatchewan.
"Jeff's appointment is an important addition to the board of Rackla," stated Simon Ridgway, chief executive officer of Rackla Metals. "As Rackla advances its tungsten strategy in the Northwest Territories, we believe it is essential to add senior mine engineering and operating experience at the board level. Jeff's background in mine development, project execution and operations will help the company better evaluate development opportunities, technical and operating risks, and capital requirements, as Rackla considers the potential path from exploration toward development."
Management of Rackla believes the Northwest Territories tungsten belt represents a compelling critical minerals opportunity, particularly in light of strong tungsten prices and growing Western interest in securing reliable North American sources of supply. The proximity of the past-producing Cantung mine to Rackla's Lentung tungsten project and the historic tungsten resources discovered by Union Carbide at Lentung could potentially contribute to the redevelopment of tungsten mining in the region.
The company also announces that it has granted a stock option to Mr. Reinson to purchase up to 250,000 common shares of the company exercisable for up to 10 years at a price of 15 cents per share.
