Eastmain Resources Inc. announced that its Board of Directors has appointed Dr. John A. Hansuld to the position of Lead Director. Early in his career, as an intrepid geochemist John initiated the application of geochemical techniques essential to understanding the dispersion and relative mobility of common metals in soils and other secondary media. Soon afterwards, in his role as company-builder, John turned Amax Exploration Canada into a premier exploration and mine development group, which he later took public as Canamax Resources, developing a number of mines under the Canamax umbrella.
