Exchequer Resources (EXQ.H-V) May 29, '14 names Dr. Sethu Raman as director
Dr. Sethu Raman, PhD, has joined the board of Exchequer Resource Corp.
Dr. Raman is a successful exploration geologist with over 45 years of international experience in all phases of exploration, mine development, acquisitions and operations, including financial and legal areas. He has pioneered many new exploration concepts and strategies, which have led to the discovery of 11 significant gold, silver, copper, zinc, phosphate and uranium deposits located near established mining camps, seven of which went on to become producing gold mines in Canada.
As president and chief executive officer of Holmer Gold Mines Ltd., Dr. Raman was particularly instrumental in the resurgence of the West Timmins camp, where he discovered the Timmins gold deposit for which he later negotiated a business combination with Lake Shore Gold Corp.
Dr. Raman previously spent 13 years with Campbell Chibougamau Mines/Campbell Resources and the Royex Gold Mining group of companies in various management positions, including vice-president (1980 to 1986), where he played a key role in the discovery and development of six gold mines in Quebec, Ontario and the Northwest Territories and in several major acquisitions. He is also a director of SGX Resources Inc., Northern Graphite Corp. and Zara Resources Inc., all of which are public companies. He is the founder and chairman of Holmer Gold Mines, a private company currently developing the Loma Hierro silver mine in Cuba. He holds a PhD degree in geology from Carleton University and a UNESCO postgraduate diploma from the University of Vienna, Austria. |
