The respect and confidence he commands in the financial communities in Canada and particularly the United States has been key in the recent successes the Company has realized in its market awareness and financing plans.”
Mr. Hashim Ahmed, in-coming Chairman of the Board stated, “We have excellent assets with great potential and a fine team here at Stratabound to develop them. I look forward to working with the Board, the management team and our investors as Chairman of Stratabound in unlocking the full value of our North American assets, taking advantage of our team strengths in seeking every opportunity to build shareholder value beyond early stage exploration, and developing the Company towards production decisions and beyond.”
