PERTH: Ardiden Limited has appointed experienced geologist and current Chief Executive Officer Rob Longley as Managing Director.

This appointment is consistent with the company’s strategic focus on maximising value from the Company’s gold assets in the Tier 1 Mining jurisdiction of Ontario, Canada.

Rob was appointed Chief Executive Officer of Ardiden on 1 May 2019 and has played a significant role in consolidating the company’s assets, forming alliances with strategic partners in the area, and progressing Ardiden’s gold growth strategy.

Commenting  on the  leadership  changes Ardiden’s Non-Executive Chairman Neil Hackett said: “The Board is delighted to appoint Rob as Managing Director. Since taking the role of CEO, Rob has been the key driver behind Ardiden’s renewed  strategy  in  unlocking  value  and  success  at  the  Pickle  Lake Gold  Project,  which  now  has  a  substantial  gold  resource  that  Rob  and  the  Ardiden  team  will  be working hard to further develop as activities at site continue to ramp-up.  Rob’s appointment to the Ardiden  Board  comes  at  a  time  of  renewed  focus  on  this  well-known  prolific  gold  mining  district  in Ontario Canada, as evidenced by AuTECO Minerals’ announcement on 28 January 2020 of the acquisition of up to 80% of the Pickle Crow High Grade Gold project adjacent to Ardiden’s existing gold package.”
