Latitude Minerals appoints Vice-President of Finance
SPOKANE, WA, March 21, 2000; Latitude Minerals Corp. (LTU.V) is pleased to announce the appointment of Mr. Gary D. Robinson to the post of Vice-President of Finance, effective immediately. Mr. Robinson held a variety of financial positions with Cominco American Inc. over a period of 35 years up to 1991 when he retired from the company. For the last eight years with Cominco American, he served as Vice-President of Finance where he was involved in, among other things, the preliminary financing of the Red Dog Mine in Alaska. Mr. Robinson also served as Vice President of Finance for Yamana Resources Inc. during 1995-1996, the early years of that company. He brings to the Corporation a wealth of financial experience ranging from mineral exploration to world scale operations.
Mr. Robinson states; "Latitude Minerals has a sound approach to junior exploration, especially given current market conditions. With the progress on the Pan deposit, as well as the development of the rest of the property portfolio I believe that Latitude is just starting to realize it's potential. I am pleased to be working with the company."
The Company has received preliminary approval from the Bureau of Land Management [BLM] in Nevada for the phase II drill permit on the Pan gold deposit. A site visit with the BLM is scheduled for late March. Full permit approval is expected shortly after the site visit. In anticipation of the permit, Latitude is mobilizing a second drill rig to Nevada.
Latitude Minerals Corp. is a junior exploration company engaged in exploring and developing a number of advanced-stage gold deposits in the western United States. The company is also evaluating a number of additional opportunities in the Americas.
