April 23, 2013 /CNW/ - Asher
Resources Corporation (the "Company" or "Asher") is
pleased to announce that Mr. John M. Arnold, CA has been appointed as a director
and as Chairman of the Company. Most recently, Mr. Arnold was a director of Queenston Mining Inc.
which was purchased in late 2012 by Osisko Mining Corporation for
approximately $550M. Mr. Arnold is a natural resource executive with
over 35 years of experience in lumber, oil and gas and also mineral
exploration with over 20 years experience in Nevada with X-Cal Resources Ltd.'s Sleeper
project (now Paramount Gold & Silver Inc.) as well as extensive
exploration and development experience in British Columbia, Ontario, Quebec, Nunavut and Newfoundland/Labrador.
"We are delighted to have John join Asher as a
director and as our new Chairman during our early growth stage"
commented Richard Buzbuzian,
President and CEO. "John brings over 35 years of high level mining
experience. This firstly begins with his Nevada expertise regarding the Sleeper project
near Winnemocka that was sold to Paramount Gold and Silver Corp.
This is in addition to the $550M
Queenston Mining Inc. sale to Osisko Mining Corporation. John, with
his international mining network will be a great asset to Asher as
we pursue our own business strategy of developing a North American
precious metals resource that would also be an attractive
acquisition for a producer."
"Furthermore, I would like to warmly thank Dr.
Terry Christopher for being Chairman
of Asher during our early growth stage."
