MICHEL
DAVID JOINS RADISSON MINING
AS PRESIDENT AND CEO
This morning, Radisson Mining Resources announced that Mr. Michel David, B.Sc.,
has been appointed President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company. Mr.
David has over 35 years of experience in geology and geophysics, base metal and
precious metal exploration and mining.
He obtained a
B.Sc. in geology from McGill University in 1975 and has managed numerous
projects in southern Africa, Brazil, Colombia, the Philippines, Korea and throughout North America with emphasis on the
Abitibi gold belt in northwestern Quebec where
Radisson's highly prospective O'Brien and Kewagama
properties are located. Prior to this, Mr. David was president and CEO of a
Val-d'Or based mining exploration company. Under his guidance the company made
significant gold discoveries and is presently exploring and developing both
from underground.
. Effective February 14, 2010, Mr. Dale M. Hendrick elected to resign as Chairman and a member of the
Board of Directors due to ongoing concerns with health matters preventing his
full devotion to the duties of Chairman and Director of the Company. Both Mr. Hendrick and Mr. Ken Murton, the former President and CEO of Radisson, readily
endorsed the retention of Michel David as President and CEO of Radisson.
Mr. Murton,
who will assume the position of Chairman of the Board, stated, "We deeply
regret the departure of Dale Hendrick as Chairman,
but look forward to his wise counsel in a consulting capacity. The fine track record of Michel
David plus his strong contacts with international sources of capital for
attractive mining projects like those of Radisson make Michel the ideal
candidate to manage our Company and achieve its potential. We at Radisson were
particularly impressed by Mr. David's knowledge and high regard for our O'Brien
and Kewagama properties and his belief that Radisson
should retain 100% interest in these properties and not joint venture them with
other mining companies".
We should be pleased to answer any questions
you may have with regard to our exploration and development plans.
Sincerely,
Ken Murton
Chairman of the Board
