GTA Resources and Mining Inc. reported that the company has successfully completed its two phase 2016 drilling program to expand the gold mineralization at Northshore and now GTA intends to update its model of the near surface, highergrade portion of the Afric Zone. The success at Northshore has led to an evolution in GTA's leadership team. James Macintosh, a director of GTA since 2008, has been appointed President and Chief Executive Officer, and Mr. Wayne Reid, P.Geo., has been appointed VicePresident, Exploration. Mr. Macintosh's mandate, apart from that normally associated with the role of CEO, is to draw upon his business expertise and mining background to work with Mr. Reid to evaluate the economic potential of Northshore in consultation with joint venture partner, Balmoral Resources Limited ("Balmoral"). Also as part of the evolution, Clinton Barr and Stephen Stares are resigning from the Board of Directors. Mr. Macintosh has 30 years of experience in the mining industry and as a mining analyst. The company announced the appointment of Julio DiGirolamo, CPA, CA to the Board of Directors.
