VANCOUVER, BC, July 6, 2020 /CNW/ - COLORADO RESOURCES LTD. (TSXV: CXO) ("Colorado" or the "Company") announces the appointment of Tony Barresi, Ph.D., P.Geo., as President and Director of the Company, effective August 1, 2020. Dr. Barresi is a geologist with over fifteen years of precious and base metal exploration experience. He has conducted successful exploration programs on grassroots and brownfield projects, and specializes in exploring for porphyry, epithermal gold and volcanogenic massive sulfide (VMS) style deposits. Dr. Barresi obtained his B.Sc. (honours) from Saint Mary's University in 2004 and Ph.D. from Dalhousie University in 2015. His Ph.D. thesis focused on the interplay between island-arc evolution and mineral deposit formation in northwestern British Columbia, including within the prolific Golden Triangle where many of Colorado's key properties are situated. Dr. Barresi was awarded the prestigious Mary-Claire Ward Geoscience Award for his Ph.D. thesis by the Prospectors and Developers Association of Canada (PDAC) and the Geological Association of Canada (GAC). Dr. Barresi was previously President and Director of Triumph Gold Corp. During his tenure at Triumph he built a fifty person team of explorers and support personal who are credited with discoveries of the high grade Blue Sky and WAu Breccias, which yielded some of the best greenfield drill intersections globally in 2018 and 2019. Dr. Barresi continues to act as a Technical Advisor for Triumph Gold Corp., and is an outside Director of ArcWest Exploration Inc.
Joseph Mullin, Colorado's CEO comments, "I am excited that we were able to attract someone of Tony's calibre and experience and look forward to working with Tony as we continue to build a strong technical team with deep bredth of experience and past exploration sucesses. As we commence our 2020 exploration program we will benefit from Tony's leadership and experience, which includes having conducted exploration programs on our Castle property in 2012 and 2013."
As President of Colorado Resources, Dr. Barresi will be responsible for overseeing the Company's exploration and development activities and operations, and work with the CEO and Board to plan and implement strategy.
Dr. Fletcher Morgan, Chairman of the Company, comments, "When I worked with Tony in 2016, I was impressed with his ability to zero in on transformative geological opportunities. That's what he subsequently went on to do for Triumph Gold on the Freegold Mountain Property, and it is exactly the opportunity at our Castle, KSP, Rok-Coyote and Sofia properties now. Since Colorado's inception, over $37 million of shareholders' dollars has been spent to assemble and explore what we believe is the best grassroots and early stage land package in the Golden Triangle. Thanks to the efforts of Dave Fleming (VP Exploration) and his team, we have completed a review and recompilation of the significant amount of existing data. Now with the addition of Tony's technical capabilities, professionalism and single minded determination, we expect to unlock the compelling opportunities contained in our portfolio of properties."
