Wesdome Gold Mines has appointed Duncan Middlemiss as its president and CEO.
Middlemiss had been president and CEO of St. Andrew Goldfields before it was acquired by Kirkland Lake Gold in January.
Middlemiss takes over from Rolly Uloth, who had held the position for the last three years. Uloth will continue as a director on the company during a transition period until his impending retirement.
“In addition to aggressively exploring and growing production at our flagship Eagle River Mine Complex, Wesdome has two other highly prospective gold assets including the Moss Lake and Kiena projects,” Middlemiss said in a release.
“I look forward to working with the Wesdome team in what I consider one of the best gold opportunities in Canada."
Originally from Kirkland Lake, Middlemiss holds a bachelor of science degree from Queen’s University, and has additionally worked for Vale Canada and Barrick Gold.
Wesdome operates the Eagle River gold mine near Wawa, which poured its one-millionth ounce of gold in December 2014.
The company additionally owns the Mishi gold deposit, located west of Wawa; the Kiena Mine in Val d-Or, Que.; and the Moss Lake gold deposit 100 kilometres west of Thunder Bay.
The new president-CEO will take on his new role on Aug. 15.
