Meeting world need for decades
Uranium Star’s seasoned management team is led by Chairman and CEO Kirk McKinnon, who has more than 25 years of senior management experience. He also serves as President and CEO of MacDonald Mines Exploration Ltd. (named by the TSX Venture in 2008 as Number 2 among Canada’s Top 10 mining companies); Red Pine Exploration Inc., and HoneyBadger Exploration Inc. Previously he served with several high-profile Canadian corporations, including Nestlé Canada. Other members of the management team include VP and CFO Richard Schler, and Directors Quentin Yarie and John P. Sanderson.
To steer the Green Giant vanadium discovery further as a world-class project, Uranium Star recently added two political and business heavyweights to their Special Advisory Board: the Hon. Brian V. Tobin, P.C., ICD.D, and Peter Harder. Tobin, who served as a Member of Parliament for 16 years and as Federal Minister and Premier of Newfoundland and Labrador, will serve as Chairman. Harder, who previously served as Deputy Minister, will also serve on the Board of Directors of Uranium Star. The company has also added Julie Lee Harrs in the capacity of President and COO. She previously served as an executive with Cherritt International.
“As a member of the board of Consolidated Thompson Iron Mines, I have experienced first hand the importance of helping to bring capital, people, partners and market opportunities together to build a world class project,” states Tobin. “The same is true for Uranium Star. I have been very impressed by the work already underway and by the quality of the team CEO Kirk McKinnon has assembled. Given the scope and magnitude of this discovery, it is a great opportunity to be attached to this project at the early stages…Together, [Harder] and I will help ensure the company stays ahead of and steers through any potential political and financial issues that may arise, and position the project in the best possible way to potential joint-venture partners or buyers.”
“We are positioning the Green Giant Mine to capitalize on the developing ‘green’ market and the need for efficient battery storage, and to ultimately compete as a significant supplier of vanadium to the steel and renewable energy industry,” says McKinnon. And because of the incredible magnitude of Uranium Star’s Madagascar deposit, the Green Giant could well be the major supplier of all the world’s vanadium needs for decades
