A second nominee will follow at a later date.

Louis-Pierre Gignac, President & Chief Executive Officer of GMIN, commented: "We are pleased to welcome Karim to the GMIN team. Karim's experience in growing companies into multi-billion corporations will be invaluable in our growth story into the next intermediate gold producer, starting with our fully financed Tocantinzinho Project.
