KORE Mining Ltd. announced it has appointed Mr. Michael Tucker as VP Exploration. Most recently he was Exploration Manager for Balmoral Resources (acquired by Wallbridge Mining) where Mr. Tucker led exploration activities across all their projects including the Fenelon gold project which triggered the take-over by Wallbridge. Mr. Tucker will report to CEO Scott Trebilcock and take direction from Executive Chairman James Hynes who will continue strategic leadership of KORE's exploration programs. Mr. Tucker started this week and is currently on-site with Mr. Hynes transitioning leadership of the on-going FG Gold drill program. Mr. Tucker is already taking steps to build-out KORE capabilities by retaining, Mr. Graham Leroux, P.Geo., as Canadian Exploration Manager and hiring former Balmoral geologist Ms. Rosie Tempest. Mr. Leroux, who is currently managing drill operations at FG Gold, will continue leading KORE's Canadian exploration activities while Ms. Tempest will enhance KORE's in-house interpretation, GIS and analytical capabilities.
