Western Copper and Gold Corporation (TSX:WRN) has appointed Archie Lang to its board of directors. The company also announced that Robert Byford has resigned.
As quoted in the press release:
Mr. Lang was elected to the Yukon Legislative Assembly for two terms between 2002 and 2011. During his tenure as an elected official, he served as the Minister of Energy, Mines, and Resources, the Minister of Highways and Public Works, and the Minister of Community Services.
Mr. Lang’s work in those Ministries provided him with in-depth knowledge of key issues surrounding the development of natural resources in the north. During his tenure as Minister, Archie also assisted in managing the devolution of responsibility for these portfolios from Canada to Yukon and, in conjunction with the Federal Government and First Nations, implemented the Yukon Environmental and Socio-economic Assessment Act (“YESAA”).
Western Copper chairman and CEO, Dale Corman, said:
I am pleased that Archie has agreed to serve on Western’s board of directors. His expertise will be invaluable to the Company as it develops Canada’s next premier copper-gold mine.
