Trilogy Metals Inc. (NYSE American: TMQ) (TSX: TMQ) announced senior management appointments at its 50/50 joint venture with South32 Limited, Ambler Metals LLC, which is advancing the Upper Kobuk Mineral Projects (UKMP) in Alaska’s Ambler Mining District. The appointments strengthen Ambler Metals’ technical, financial and permitting leadership as it advances exploration drilling, community engagement, feasibility planning and expedited federal permitting under FAST-41, positioning the venture to support near-term milestones and progress toward an investment decision on the Arctic Project.
Michael Galicki has been named Vice President, Exploration; Cole Schaeffer Vice President, Human Resources, Community and Partnerships; Jenna Tan Vice President, Finance; and Ron Rimelman Senior Director, Permitting.
