premier Canadian gold mining company,” said David Grondin,
President and Chief Executive Officer of TomaGold. “These new
appointments will strengthen and add depth to our geological,
financial and communication expertise and will considerably enhance

attribute the initial high-grade discoveries on Monster Lake, and
geologist Caitlin Jeffs, with her strong knowledge of the Red Lake
