ceo resigns
Sierra Nevada's Jon Stewart resigns as president and CEO Sierra Nevada Gold Ltd SDD Shares issued 17,086,456 Oct 22 close $0.03 Mon 25 Oct 99 News Release Mr. Jon Stewart reports It is with deep regret, apprehension and concern for the future that as of this date I hereby resign my position as president, chief executive officer and director of Sierra Nevada Gold Ltd. This action is being taken based on an overall untenable position that has left me in a non-effective position to fulfill the duties required by that office and as a director. As to the status of the Gold Spot project, based on the news announced in Stockwatch Aug. 26th, you are aware that the management of Sierra Nevada Gold Inc., the subsidiary company, sent a letter of cancellation to the owners of the Gold Spot claims. This action was taken without contacting and getting the approval of the full board of directors of the parent company, which approved the agreement. Sierra Nevada Gold Ltd. was a co-signer of that agreement. I have personally discussed this confusing matter with the owners of the Gold Spot claims. However, it is very doubtful if Sierra Nevada Gold will be able to correct the negative attitude in the minds of the owners that was created by this action. I appreciate the confidence placed in me by the shareholders of Sierra Nevada and, as stated, I regret this action; however, I feel it is necessary.
