Peter A. Ball Appointed President and CEO of Redstar Gold

Redstar Gold Corp. (TSXV:RGC) announced that Peter A. Ball has been appointed as president and CEO of the company as of January 25, 2016. He will also join the company’s board of directors.
As quoted in the press release:

Mr. Ball will succeed Ken Booth, who has been Interim President and CEO since late February 2015. Redstar would like to thank Mr. Booth for his diligent and dedicated efforts to lead the Company during this period. Redstar is pleased that it will continue to benefit from Mr. Booth’s counsel in the future as a member of our Board of Directors.

Jacques Vaillancourt, executive chairman of Redstar, commented:

We are very pleased that Peter is joining Redstar’s management team. We know and look forward to Peter bringing the same energy, professionalism and diligence that he contributed to Columbus Gold, which helped make it one of the best performing gold companies in the Canadian equity markets in 2014 and into 2015. The Redstar portfolio of projects, including our district scale Unga Gold Project, are very encouraging and require the type of leadership that Peter is capable of offering. We believe that Unga, with its dual trends of epithermal low to intermediate sulphidation mineralization and gold showings over 19 km (2 x 9.5 km), is currently amongst the most exciting and prospective gold projects in North America. The Unga property also hosted the Apollo-Sitka Mine, which was Alaska’s first underground gold mine from 1886-1922, and historical reports indicated production of approximately 150,000 gold ounces at a grade of approximately 10 g/t.
Additionally, but not least, I would like to personally, and on behalf of the board, thank Ken Booth for stepping-in as our interim President and CEO, where his contribution was very valuable and appreciated at a critical time for the Company.
