Chairman & Director
Dr. Hennigh is an internationally-renowned economic geologist with over 25 years of exploration experience and expertise with major gold mining companies including Homestake Mining Company, Newcrest Mining Limited, and Newmont Mining Corporation, where he last served as senior research geologist in 2007. In that role, he undertook a palinspastic reconstruction of the Great Basin that was used to target favourable extensions of the region’s most important gold districts. This led to the recognition of the Toiyabe District as being a critical missing piece of the world-class Cortez Gold District. Since that time, he has been responsible for a number of significant gold discoveries for junior exploration companies, notably the 5-million-ounce Springpole alkaline gold deposit near Red Lake, Ontario, for Gold Canyon Resources. He currently serves as Chairman and President of Novo Resources Corporation, and an adviser to Eskay Mining Corp. and Lion One Metals Ltd.
