Valerie Wilson is a Consultant Geologist at SLR, with 15 years of experience in the mining industry.  She was the co-project manager of the new Mineral Resource estimate at the Red Lake Operations, completed in July 2020.  The project used over 7 million metres of drilling and required the coordination of a large team of geologists located around the globe, and the development and implementation of innovative approaches.  Valerie will summarize the work as part of the presentation.

Talk Abstract:

In April 2020 Evolution Mining completed the purchase of Red Lake Operations. We are excited to be operating Red Lake, a significant world class gold deposit in a secure and stable jurisdiction such as Ontario. Since purchase we have rebased the Mineral Resource and commenced a program to restore Red Lake to a cost effective and efficient modern operation by accelerating UG development, embracing technology and planning for future developments to realise the significant remaining Mineral Endowment.
