GLENCAIRN ANNOUNCES APPOINTMENT OF BRUCE HUMPHREY TO BOARD OF DIRECTORS
Glencairn Gold Corporation is pleased to announce that Bruce Humphrey, P.Eng., has been appointed to the Board of Directors. Mr. Humphrey, who joins the board as an independent director, has more than 30 years of experience in the international mining industry.
“We are very fortunate to have an experienced mining engineer of Mr. Humphrey’s caliber and history of achievements join our board,” said Glencairn President and CEO Peter Tagliamonte. “Bruce brings strong technical depth and experience to the Company at a period we anticipate to be Glencairn’s new growth phase.”
Most recently, Mr. Humphrey was President and CEO of Desert Sun Mining Co., a mining company that successfully developed the Jacobina Mine Complex in Brazil. The outstanding success of this project led to the acquisition of Desert Sun by Yamana Gold in April, 2006.
From 1998 to 2004, Bruce was Chief Operating Officer of Goldcorp Inc. responsible primarily for the re-development, start-up and operation of Goldcorp’s high-grade Red Lake mine in northwestern Ontario.
Mr. Humphrey’s engineering career began following his graduation from the University of Saskatchewan in 1974 when he joined Inco’s nickel operations near Thompson, Manitoba, as mine engineer. In 1979, he was employed by Cominco’s Kimberley, B.C., operations in its mechanized mine department. He has also worked in progressively senior capacities with Noranda, Canamax and Canadian Mine Development. From 1995 to 1998, he was vice president, mining and contracting for BLM Service Group, a major engineering firm with projects worldwide.
