Update for Echelon. Probably should of posted this yesterday. Its more experience onto the board for Echelon. This is shaping to be a strong player in uranium exploration. Just my opinion. They have an experienced board and they are ready to show results. Remember the airborne radiometrics for yelleerie south will be the first price sensitive announcement released later this month or early June and I'm betting it will be very positive. Very happy with how the SP has held firm. Hoping it continues this way untill we do receive the news and then it will be ready to run further.
APPOINTMENT OF MR MATTHEW YATES AS DIRECTOR
The Directors of Echelon Resources Limited (‘Echelon’ or ‘Company’) are pleased to announce that Mr Matthew Yates has agreed to join the Company as a non-executive Director. Mr Yates will consult to the Company on technical matters, advising the Board in relation to its existing uranium tenements in Queensland and Western Australia.
Mr Yates is a geologist with 20 years industry experience, covering most facets of exploration from generative work to project development.
Mr Yates is currently the Managing Director of OmegaCorp Limited and has been instrumental in developing OmegaCorp’s uranium tenements in Zambia through a successful exploration phase and a recently completed scoping study. OmegaCorp’s project now contains a JORC compliant inferred resource of 13.7 million pounds of U3O8 and the company has recently been the subject of a Takeover Offer from both Denison Mines Corp and Central African Mining & Exploration Company plc. Mr Yates’ efforts have been directly attributable to the significant increase in the market capitalisation of OmegaCorp since it listed on the ASX.
Mr Yates has worked in Australia and southern, east and west Africa, Central Asia and the Gulf Region. He has managed exploration teams at the Nimary and Buhemba gold projects in Western Australia and Tanzania respectively. Mr Yates has an applied technical background and has held senior positions for over fifteen years, including Exploration Manager for Tanganyika Gold Limited.
In addition, Mr Yates was previously a Director of Echelon from May 2002 to August 2005 during which time Mr Yates was responsible for the management of the Company’s Queensland tenements.
