Two more Lakeland Resources’ (TSXv: LK) (FSE: 6LL) appointments bring additional
experience to the company’s management and board. December 16 and 19
announcements reported Neil McCallum joining as director and Frances Petryshen as
corporate secretary.
McCallum, a project manager with Dahrouge Geological Consulting, has served a
number of companies with target generation, hiring, logistics, land management, data
compilation, project reviews and management.
“Among the first Basin projects I worked on was staking the Waterbury Lake project that
started with Strathmore Minerals and turned into Fission Energy,” McCallum says.
Fission Energy’s 60% interest in Waterbury was the main impetus for Denison Mines’
acquisition of the company earlier this year. The project’s J zone now shows an
indicated resource of 291,000 tonnes averaging 2% for 12.81 million pounds U3O8.
“Also with Dahrouge, I worked on the Patterson Lake project, which morphed into
Patterson Lake South,” McCallum adds. “Part of that work back in 2004 was digging
through historic data, looking for projects that had been passed over by some of the
major companies. So I’ve been familiar with the Basin since that time.”
His involvement in a variety of projects with prospect generator Zimtu Capital (TSXv:
ZC) led him to Lakeland, a Zimtu core holding, about a year ago.“ Having worked with
Zimtu and Ryan Fletcher, I found I like the way he operates. He’s similar to me in that
he’s a young guy who thinks outside the box. When you work with different projects and
2. different teams you can look at the Basin from a different angle. I think that’s what
people like Ryan and myself bring to the table—a bit of a different perspective.”
As a Lakeland director, McCallum will play a wider role in the company than before. “A
big part of Lakeland’s goal is to find projects either by staking or linking up with other
companies,” he explains. “So a lot of what I’ll do is review those projects on a technical
basis to make informed decisions.”
Fletcher reinforces those comments. “Our group has worked with Neil for several years
now and I’ve seen the impact he’s had on other projects. But he’s also focused a lot on
uranium and the Athabasca Basin. He has a talent for looking at historic data, filing
through the assessment reports and putting it all into context. He’s already been helping
with project management on our Gibbon’s Creek/Riou Lake project, but now he’s joining
the board to represent shareholders and drive shareholder value.”
As corporate secretary Frances Petryshen brings 25 years of experience specializing in
corporate compliance and governance for public, private and not-for-profit
organizations. She’s been a director and officer with several public and private
companies including CanAlaska Uranium, where she worked from 2007 to 2012.
Petryshen is an accredited director and a fellow with the Institute of Chartered
Secretaries and Administrators, where she currently serves as director and chairperson
of the British Columbia branch.
“Her appointment is another important step towards adding the right people to deliver as
we grow the company and expand our exploration and activity in the Athabasca,” said
Lakeland president/CEO Jonathan Armes in a statement accompanying the
announcement. “Frances will be an important contributor and a trusted adviser and
associate to our team.”
The news follows several recent Lakeland announcements including the appointments
of mining specialists Sam Wong as CFO and Canon Bryan as adviser, JVs with Declan
3. Resources and Star Minerals Group, and a research report by Zimtu research and
communications officer Derek Hamill.
With summer/autumn field work complete, planning now takes place for the 12,771hectare Gibbon’s Creek winter campaign. “We’ll be very active throughout the new year
as well,” Fletcher says. “We’ll continue building our team and our projects so that when
uranium’s price environment changes, which it will, we’ll be very well established.”
