Wesdome’s Board of Directors also announced today that they have appointed Charles Main to their newly created Lead Independent Director position. Wesdome says its board members selected him for the influential role because of his leadership skills and integrity.
Wesdome is a Canadian gold producer with two flagship underground mines located in Ontario and Quebec.
The company had a challenging year in 2022, which is partially attributed to severe snowstorms hindering transportation of ore to its mill in Q4.
Wesdome announced commercial production at the Kiena Mine in Val d’Or, Quebec at the beginning of December last year.
Wesdome’s stock price rose by 2.19 per cent today to $6.30 on the TSX.
