Astur Gold Corp. (TSXV:AST) announced that Greenpeace co-founder, Dr. Patrick Moore, has joined their board as an independent Director.
As quoted in the press release:
Dr. Moore is one of the most distinguished leaders in the field of environmental sustainability, with a career spanning over 40 years. He co-founded Greenpeace, serving for nine years as President of Greenpeace Canada and seven years as a Director of Greenpeace International. As the leader of many campaigns, he was a driving force shaping Greenpeace as it grew into one of the world’s largest environmental organizations. His creation of the term “Sensible Environmentalist” is representative of his call for a science-based, rather than ideological approach to environmentalism, which is consistent with Astur Gold’s strategy of promoting environmentally sustainable mine development to generate economic and social benefits for communities.
Astur Gold’s CEO and President, Cary Pinkowski, said:
Patrick is one of the creators of the modern environmentalist movement, and is recognized as one of its foremost thought leaders. His presence will be a unique asset to Astur Gold as we continue the development of Salave and on additional projects we are currently evaluating.
