CMJ (Canadian Mining Journal)

"Marilyn Scales is in Val d'or, QC , this week touring Century Mining's reopened mine. Read her article in the September issue of Canadian Mining Jornal."

This was posted early August.
Anybody see anything from her on Century yet??

Here's a link to the issue with the article, which is very complimentary even if I can't make sense of it all.

Roxy14, I`ve checking the CMJ site everyday. It doesn`t look as if the September version of the Canadian Mining Journal as yet. I imagine it`s due out any day now. I think the August journal was issued somewhat early in August. They posted it in digital form on their website in early August. That version is still on their site as the more recent digital edition. This is also why I am thinking they haven`t issued September`s as yet. When they do, I imagine it will become the latest digital edition on their website.

On another note, I have started to track movement of available mid-tier type highly successful CEO`s. It`s just a list, and that`s it. I am not suggesting that Century is looking at any of these CEOs. It`s only a list of 3 CEOs thus far. I will add to the list if other quality CEOs come available either due to more M&A activity or other reasons.

1) Paul Bibby, the OceanaGold CEO, resigned today. He has resigned for personal reasons, but I get the sense he has some good thoughts about what he wants to do next and where he wants to go. It looks like it was a surprise resignation for the company because they are scrambling to initiate a CEO search, but it also looks like he left on very friendly terms. I get the impression he is looking for a new challenge. This is what he had to say:

`OceanaGold is now in a very strong position both operationally and financially, we have increased international market awareness and the exploration efforts continue to produce outcomes that will sustain the New Zealand operations. I am pleased with what has been achieved during my time with OceanaGold and wish the OceanaGold team and its shareholders the very best in the future.`

2) The Red Back Mining CEO (assuming the Kinross deal goes through)

3) The Andean Resources CEO (the Goldcorp deal should have no problems going through, especially now that Eldorado Gold has withdrawn its offer)

Thanks for the excellent and innovative DD, P05.

Landing any of those CEOs would skyrocket us instantly. I think with Peggy - she had certain talents in fund-raising and expansion but there was always the "well she might run it to zero like Royal Oak" discount and risk perception out there.

I'm not ripping on Peg, and not looking to argue about her, I think she has positives and negatives, but let's just be real on the perception out there on her.

A solid CEO that essentially made a lot of money for another company and increased shareholder value over several years will rocket this thing instantly.
