George Sookochoff appointed CEO/President & Chairman

George Sookochoff recently served as President of GGX Gold Corp. assisting in advancing and developing the significant high grade COD vein system along with numerous other vein systems on the GGX Gold Drop property in the Greenwood mining camp.
George also served as Executive Vice President of Golden Dawn Minerals where he compiled into a single digital database over one hundred years of exploration data from the Greenwood mining camp, which included hundreds of maps and reports dating from late 1800's to today.
