El Salvador lawmakers overturn mining ban Bukele called absurd
El Salvador became the first country in the world to ban all forms of metals mining in 2017.
Canadian junior gold miner Batero Gold Corp (TSX-V:BAT) said Thursday the company’s board has accepted the resignation of Brandon Rook as President, Chief Executive Officer and Director effective immediately.
The Colombia-focused firm said Rook is being replaced by senior vice president and COO, Darryl Lindsay, as the interim CEO.
The Vancouver-based company’s main short-term goal is to advance the La Cumbre oxide deposit in Colombia towards a production decision.
“The exploration work completed to date and its success in identifying resources indicates that the project is ready to move to the next stage,” said Lindsay in a statement.
