– CANADA, Vancouver – Monument Mining Limited (TSX: MMY | FSE: D7Q1) today announced the appointment of Dato’ Sia Hok Kiang to its Board of Directors, effective immediately.
“I am honored to welcome Mr. Dato’ Sia to the Monument Board of Directors,” said Board Chairman, Robert Baldock. “His strong mining background combined with extensive experience and presence in the Malaysia mining industry will complement our Board as we continue building the Company for all stakeholders.”
Mr. Baldock added, “The Covid-19 pandemic is changing the world’s economic expectations and the ways of conducting business, which introduces large uncertainty moving forward. Having said that, the gold market continues to be strong in Western Australia. With the strategy to divest the base metal portfolio and generate cash from the existing Selinsing Gold Mine through the current gold treatment plant and its planned expansion, we are actively focusing our corporate development in the Western Australia region where our Murchison Gold Project has great upside potential and market attraction. The objective is to increase our shareholders’ value as rising tide lifts the boat. We are working through valuations and planning and will update the market accordingly.”
