TRU Engages Professor Garth Earls As Project Evaluation Advisor
Toronto, Ontario –November 2, 2023 – TRU Precious Metals Corp. (TSXV:TRU) (“TRU” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that it has engaged Professor Garth Earls to support the Company’s Technical Committee as its Project Evaluation Advisor. Professor Earls’ mandate is to develop a technically-oriented assessment of the development potential of the Company’s gold-copper Golden Rose Project in central Newfoundland (“Golden Rose”), as well as evaluating the technical and economic merit of other natural resources opportunities as they arise.
Professor Earls has over 40 years of professional experience in mineral exploration and mining in Ireland and internationally. He was part of the team that discovered the 6 million ounce Curraghinalt gold deposit in Northern Ireland and has worked extensively on gold and base metal deposits and mineralization in Ireland and the UK. He is a former Director of the Geological Survey of Northern Ireland, former Director of the CSA Group and a past Chairman of the Geosciences Committee of the Royal Irish Academy. He delivers the Economic Geology course in University College Cork, Ireland. He is currently Executive Chairman of International Geoscience Services.
Professor Earls’ relevant experience includes:
Mineral exploration and mining in Ireland and UK, Europe, Africa, South America, North America, Central and Eastern Asia;
Gold and base metals exploration and development appraisal, including Competent Person (Qualified Person) reporting; and
Directorships and governance roles in a range of public and private companies and organizations.
Joel Freudman, TRU’s Co-Founder & CEO, commented, “We are honoured to welcome an expert of Garth’s calibre to our roster, to support and advise our board of directors’ Technical Committee. While the Company just published a National Instrument 43-101 report which consolidates the work to-date on Golden Rose, Professor Earls will provide a broader future-oriented assessment of the discovery potential of our growing number of prospective exploration targets at Golden Rose, and a roadmap for the most effective development of these prospects. In addition, Professor Earls’ expertise will be invaluable in evaluating other opportunities that may arise given difficult overall mining market conditions, as we are cognizant that we may be able to leverage our treasury to increase shareholder value. We look forward to working closely with Garth as we continue to uncover the potential of Golden Rose and enhance TRU’s overall valuation.”
Professor Earls’ services will be provided under a Technical Services Agreement between TRU and its strategic investor and controlling shareholder Ormonde Mining plc (AQSE:ORM), which agreement was considered and approved by TRU’s disinterested directors.
