Goldeye Appoints Doug Willock as Chairman of the Board of Directors
TORONTO, CANADA--(Marketwired - May 8, 2014) - Goldeye
Explorations Limited (TSX-VENTURE:GGY) ("Goldeye" or "the Company")
is pleased to announce that it has appointed Mr. Doug Willock to
the Board of Directors of the corporation effective immediately.
Mr. Willock has been appointed to fill the vacancy created by the
increase in the number of directors from four to five and will
assume the role of Non-Executive Chairman. Mr. J. Richard Dean,
previously Acting Chairman of the corporation, will remain as a
Director.
Blaine Webster, President and CEO of Goldeye, comments: "We are
thrilled that Doug has agreed to serve as Chairman of the Board. I
have worked with Doug in various capacities over the years and look
forward to working closely with him as we advance our flagship
high-grade Weebigee project through the discovery stage. Doug has
an excellent track record and an extensive network of corporate and
industry contacts built over a career in corporate finance. He will
be a tremendous asset to Goldeye as the Company moves to increase
awareness of its Weebigee project - both the significant high-grade
drill results received to date and the tremendous future potential
- within the investment community. I would also like to thank
Richard Dean for the immense contribution he has made to Goldeye
during his time as Acting Chairman and know that Goldeye will
benefit from his continued efforts as Director."
During a 30 year career in corporate finance, Mr. Willock has
worked for several top Canadian and international investment banks.
He also has significant hands-on experience in managing companies
in the junior resource sector. Mr. Willock joins Goldeye having
recently left the CFO role at a junior Brazilian mining company
after completing a corporate restructuring where he and his
colleagues eliminated $268.5 million in debt and secured $80
million in new project funding. Prior to that, he served as
President and Chief Executive Officer of Polar Star Mining
Corporation and he is currently a Director and Chairman of the
Audit Committee for Orestone Mining Corp.
Mr. Willock holds a Master of Business Administration degree
with a major in finance from the Richard Ivey School of Business,
Western University and a Bachelor of Arts (History) degree from the
University of British Columbia. He attended the Beijing Language
Institute on a joint Government of Canada and China scholarship
from 1976 to 1977.
Doug Willock comments, "I am very excited to join Goldeye now as
it advances the discovery at Weebigee. The support the Sandy Lake
First Nation community provided over the last year helped to make
the drill campaign a success and demonstrated Goldeye's engagement
with the community is being reciprocated. My existing working
relationships with both Blaine and Mac Watson, as well as my
knowledge of Goldeye's properties, made the decision to join
Goldeye an easy one. I very much look forward to the results from
this next phase of exploration as the prospectivity of Weebigee is
daylighted by building on a conservative, financially prudent
approach to discovery."
Effective with the appointment, Mr. Willock has been granted
options to purchase 300,000 common shares of the Company at an
exercise price of $0.12 per share for a period of 3 years. The
grant is subject to any further required regulatory approvals.
On behalf of the Board of Directors,
Blaine Webster, P.Geo.
President and CEO
