Trillium Gold Appoints Luke Norman as Executive Chair

Mr. Norman, a prominent mining finance executive with decades of value accretive and venture capital experience in the precious metals sector, began his career with Canaccord Capital in the late 1990’s, moving on to the private investment industry through his own consultancy for the ensuing twenty-five years. He is credited with the discovery and advancement to production of notable projects in North America; as co-founder of Gold Standard Ventures Corp., a TSX and NYSE listed gold explorer-developer, and more recently as Co-founder and Chair of U.S. Gold Corp., Chair of Silver One Resources, and CEO of Leviathan Gold, Ltd.

Mr. Norman has been a significant investor in Trillium Gold since early 2020.

Russell Starr, President & CEO of Trillium Gold stated, “Luke has a distinguished reputation in the mining industry for exemplary leadership, governance and steadfast commitment to building value for shareholders. He has invested his own personal capital in Trillium and maintains that the market will soon recognize the valuation inherent in its discovery potential, particularly as the majors seek district scale assets in a growing world-class mining jurisdiction. 

Mr. Starr has stepped down from his position as Interim Chair and remains President and CEO of the Company.
