Lahontan Gold Corp. (TSXV: LG | OTCQB: LGCXF) has newly appointed Brian J. Maher as vice president exploration. Mr. Maher, a Lahontan founder and economic geologist, brings more than 45 years of exploration and mining development expertise to the company.
“The appointment of Brian as VP exploration enhances his role within Lahontan,” said founder, president, director, and CEO Kimberly Ann. “As a founder of the company, Brian is intimately familiar with all the company’s projects and is uniquely qualified to lead the technical team as we advance the Santa Fe Mine project.”
Lahontan Gold is aiming to build its Santa Fe resources up enough to put it back into production, while also advancing other exploration projects, all with Mr. Maher at the helm.
Before Lahontan, Brian was the president, director, and CEO of Prodigy Gold Inc. where he led the company through a period of expansive growth, overseeing the exploration and development of the 6.6Moz Magino gold deposit in Ontario, culminating in the C$341M acquisition of Prodigy Gold by Argonaut Gold in 2012.
Kicking off his career with ASARCO Inc., Brian began exploring for gold and copper deposits across North and South America in 1982. After 16 years, Brian became project manager for Metallic Ventures Gold Inc., supervising exploration, mine development, and operations at a gold mine in Nevada.
In 2005, Brian joined Hochschild Mining PLC and was heavily involved in the company’s North American exploration programme, serving as the exploration manager. From 2013 to 2022, Brian was the president and CEO of PPX Mining, developing, and operating a high-grade underground gold and silver mine in northern Peru.
Brian is also the managing partner of KA Gold LLC, a private company with a portfolio of advanced gold-silver exploration projects in Nevada.
