“It is my pleasure to add a geologist with Alan’s background and experience to our team. I have known Alan for many years, and like Wayne (Holmstead) he is someone that I targeted from the onset of my involvement. His resume speaks for itself and his importance to our company moving forward cannot be overstated. Alan will work alongside Wayne (Holmstead), John (Grant), and Chad (Gloster), and be heavily involved with all aspects of our exploration program. I feel we have assembled a first-class team and I could not be more excited for the future,” remarked Colin Keith, Atacama’s President and CEO.

We are extremely fortunate that Dan has decided to remain with the company as a consultant. That said, I am thrilled to be adding John Grant to our Board of Directors. He has done a fantastic job since joining our company and I see his appointment as a logical progression. He has an outstanding track record, is highly respected, and has technical expertise combined with industry-wide connections. It is a natural fit,” said David Berry, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Atacama.
