CRAIG LINDSAY APPOINTED AS CEO OF U.S. OPERATIONS AHEAD OF MAIDEN DRILLING PROGRAM
Resolution Minerals Limited ( ASX: RML ) ( Resolution or Company ) is pleased to announce the appointment of experienced junior mining veteran, Craig Lindsay, as CEO, U.S. Operations. The appointment comes ahead of the Company’s maiden drill program at the Horse Heaven Project in Idaho as announced on 9 July 2025[1] .
Highlights
Craig Lindsay has significant experience developing U.S. based resources projects, taking them from exploration stage through to successful production and sale , including:
-
founder and CEO of Magnum Uranium Corp, acquired by Energy Fuels Inc (NYSE:EFR, A$2.2 billion market cap )
-
the A$0.17 billion Kilgore Gold Project in Idaho, acquired by Excellon Resources Inc (TSXV:EXN)
-
founder of OneAsia.com (Holding) Ltd, acquired by Tom Group Limited (SEHK: 2383, A$0.36 billion market cap )
Mr. Lindsay has significant experience developing natural resource projects in the USA, including the development of the Kilgore Gold Project in Idaho through to the completion of a Preliminary Economic Assessment. With respect to the Horse Heaven Project, Mr. Lindsay states:
“Horse Heaven is an extremely exciting existing Antimony-Gold-Silver-Tungsten project with significant potential to host commercial quantities of gold, antimony and tungsten. The project is well-positioned to play a role in meeting the growing US demand for domestic sources of critical metals, in addition to its potential for a significant gold resource. Horse Heaven supplied the U.S. Government with Antimony and Tungsten that was mined from the project during World War I, World War II and the Korean War.
Located adjacent to the recently permitted Perpetua Resources’ Stibnite Mine (PPTA.NAS, A$2.6 billion market cap), which is anticipated to provide in the range of 30% to 35% of the United States’ antimony requirements, Horse Heaven will benefit from the planned Stibnite Mine infrastructure, including an upgraded high-voltage power line which will run across Horse Heaven and a new access road, which will provide much better access to the Project at no cost to Resolution .”
As CEO of U.S. Operations, Mr Lindsay will be responsible for:
- overseeing and assisting with U.S. Government engagement, Department of Defense (DoD), Pentagon, Department of Energy and White House engagement.
