The company's president and CEO hopes the former
Secretary of the Interior will contribute to furthering the permitting
process for its Wyoming project.
On April 16, U.S. Gold Corp. (USAU:NASDAQ) announced the appointment of Ryan K. Zinke, who resigned
last December as U.S. Secretary of the Interior, to the company's board of
directors.
U.S. Gold's president and CEO, Edward Karr, praised the appointment,
stating, "as the former Secretary of the Interior and a geologist,
Commander Zinke has an in-depth knowledge of the governmental regulatory and
permitting process for mining and exploration companies."
Karr particularly expressed hopes that Zinke may help the company's
permitting process for its Copper King project in Wyoming. "We look
forward to his future contributions to the overall Board, technical
committees and permitting assistance with our Copper King project in
Wyoming," he said.
"All of the Directors of U.S. Gold Corp. are thrilled to welcome the
Honorable Ryan Zinke to our Board," Karr also said.
In its press release, the gold exploration and development company
highlighted Zinke's achievements in college and especially as a U.S. Navy
SEAL for 23 years. "He was awarded the Bronze Star for combat in Iraq
and is credited with conducting 360 combat missions and the capture or kill
of 72 terrorists," it said.
The document also recalled Zinke's four years as a state senator in
Montana and two years as that state's sole member in the U.S. House of
Representatives.
According to the company, during his two years as President Donald J.
Trump's Secretary of the Interior, Zinke "was a champion of restoring
the voice of state and local communities in land and wildlife management
decisions, established and protected wildlife corridors, budgeted for the
largest investment in our Nation's history for National Parks, increased
public access for recreation and traditional use, and was the principal
architect of the American Energy 'Dominance' policy."
The press release quoted Zinke as saying that he has confident that his
experience "can add tremendous value" to U.S. Gold Corp. "I
look forward to joining a winning team. U.S. Gold Corp. has attractive
exploration and development projects in two mining friendly jurisdictions of
Wyoming and Nevada. I am confident that my prior experience can add
tremendous value to the company. I am excited to work closely with management
and the Board to help make mining great again in America," Zinke said.
