Mr. Reid co-founded Gold Resource Corporation and was responsible for the largest deposit discovered to date on the Company’s properties.
Mr. David Reid stated, “I believe we have chosen my replacement wisely as Mr. Devlin has the qualities I was looking for in a VP candidate to lead the Company’s exploration programs going forward. I will work to make the transition as seamless as possible and have confidence Mr. Devlin has the skills to explore what I believe to be one of the most exciting epithermal systems
recently discovered. I am looking forward to taking a less active role but will be here for support as needed.”
“We are very excited to welcome Mr. Devlin to our team as I believe his skill sets are ideally suited for not only the expansion of our Arista gold and silver epithermal deposit, but the discoveries of additional deposits along our forty eight kilometer mineralized trend as well,” stated Gold Resource Corporation’s President, Mr. Jason Reid. “David Reid’s discovery of the Arista deposit has been one of the key drivers of the Company’s success, not to mention he was integral with the formation, vision and execution of the Company’s business plan to date. We appreciate David’s support during this transition and though he desires to take a less active role in the Company day to day, we still plan to rely on his input.”
