Canada-based mining firm Western Copper and Gold Corporation has appointed Sandeep Singh as its chief executive officer (CEO) with immediate effect.
Singh will work closely with Dr Paul West-Sells, who will continue to serve as the company's president, according to an official statement.
Commenting on his appointment, Singh said, "I am excited to be joining the Western Copper and Gold team at a pivotal time for the Company."
With over twenty years of expertise in the mining sector, he would bring capital markets and strategic expertise to the company. He was previously the president and chief executive officer of Osisko Gold Royalties.
Western Copper and Gold Corporation's interim chairman, Dr Bill Williams, commented, "The Board is delighted to have someone of Sandeep's caliber joining the team. Throughout his impressive career, he has shown a dedication to stakeholder value, above all else, and will be aligned with shareholders through a significant personal investment into the Company. With Sandeep's addition, we are strengthening the Company's management capabilities to better unlock the value potential of the Casino project."
Casino Project is the company’s copper-gold mining project in Yukon, Canada.
"I see tremendous value in Casino as one of very few viable assets in the copper-gold development space. Casino strikes a unique balance of important scale, attractive commodity mix, low jurisdictional risk, and quick payback through the higher-grade core of the deposit,” Singh further emphasized.
Singh has been an investment banker focusing on the North American metals and mining sector with BMO Capital Markets and Dundee Securities. He also co-founded Maxit Capital, a leading independent merger and acquisition (M&A) firm.
He has advised numerous mining companies on financing alternatives and strategic matters as well as having acted on some of the most complex and value-enhancing M&A transactions in the mining sector. He earned a bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering from Concordia University and a master's in business administration from Oxford University.
