Appointment of Executive Vice President
Frank A. Lang, President, is pleased to announce the appointment of William
J. (Bill) Witte, P.Eng., to the position of Executive Vice President of
Emgold Mining Corporation. Mr. Witte will be responsible for the day to
day operations of the Company, the on-going development of the
Idaho-Maryland Mine and evaluation of new properties. Mr. Witte has over
23 years of diversified experience including project management and
finance, metallurgical research and the development, engineering and
operation of mining facilities throughout the world. Mr. Witte has been
associated with several major engineering companies, including Fluor Daniel
Wright as a Project Manager and Engineering Manager. He has been
responsible for the development of projects for ferrous, base and precious
metals, industrial minerals and diamond projects. Mr. Witte was appointed
a director of the Company in June, 1999.
Emgold Mining has developed a four-phase, strategic plan with an initial US
$5,500,000 being spent in Phase-I to identify up to 1,000,000 ounces of
gold within 15 veins which were previously drilled while the mine was in
production. All existing permits are being maintained and work continues
with the development and interpretation of the vast historical database and
delineation of new resource targets. The Company continues to search for
favorable financing and a joint-venture partner to complete development of
the Idaho-Maryland Mine. The mine produced approximately 2.4 million ounces
of gold up until it closed in 1956 due to a fixed gold price of US$35 per
ounce and escalating costs. Independent engineering reports indicate the
potential for an inferred gold resource of up to three million ounces
remaining in the mine.
