As stated by George Drazenovic, CEO of St. James Gold Corp., “We are delighted that Dr. Jackson has joined our management team. His extensive knowledge and experience in mining exploration and in the public markets, including at the CEO and Director level, will be influential as we look to explore our Newfoundland assets and expand our asset base. Presiding over multiple mineral discoveries and evaluations over the course his career, Dr. Jackson will serve as an invaluable resource as we continue to grow St. James Gold.”

As an executive, Dr. Jackson has also raised $200 million for the discovery and development of these and other gold, silver, diamonds, base metals, nickel and uranium projects.
As stated by Dr. Jackson, “I am excited for the opportunity to play a leading role in the growth of St. James Gold and to work towards accelerating its exploration prospects in Newfoundland. St. James Gold has a presence in one of the leading emerging gold districts in Canada and I look forward to contributing to its growth here and in any future endeavors.”
