Hot Chili Limited has appointed Stephen Quin, most recently the president and CEO of Midas Gold Corp., as an independent non-executive director.
Quin brings over four decades of experience in mining and exploration operations to his new role.
He has a combination of technical, governance and capital markets experience having led various studies on projects in the copper and gold sectors, ranging from preliminary economic assessments to feasibility studies, permitting, mine financing and development, and operations and closure.
In addition to serving as a non-executive director, Quin will also become a member of the company’s audit and risk; remuneration and environmental, social and governance; and nomination committees.
During his tenure at Midas, he completed the consolidation of the multi-million-ounce Golden Meadows Project and led the creation of Midas Gold Corp., which was listed on the TSX in July 2011.
Previously, Quin served as president and chief operating officer of Capstone Mining Corp., a mid-tier copper producer that has operations in Canada and Mexico.
Non-executive Chairman Nicole Adshead-Bell said the company believes that Quin’s calibre and breadth of experience will help the company meet its goals.
Quin will stand for election as a director of Hot Chili at the company’s 2023 annual general meeting.
