“We are incredibly humbled by Bryce’s decision to join the Targa Exploration Board of Directors” commented Targa CEO, Cameron Tymstra. “Bryce has one of the industry’s strongest track records of making and progressing Tier-1 mineral discoveries around the world. Much of his five decades of experience was in South America, which included leading the team which made the Cerro Moro discovery, located in the same region of Argentina as our Venidero and El Zanjon projects. His experience at Rugby Resources, the company from which Venidero and El Zanjon were spun out of when Rugby was acquired, will be invaluable to us as we launch a maiden drill program at El Zanjon scheduled to commence next month.”
Mr. Roxburgh is an accomplished geologist and currently a Director at Andina Copper, which recently acquired Rugby Resources where Mr. Roxburgh was a founding shareholder and former CEO. He founded Exeter Resource Corporation (“Exeter“) in 2003 which was acquired by Goldcorp in 2017 after Exeter discovered and progressed the Caspiche copper-gold porphyry deposit in Chile. Extorre, a company spun out to Exeter’s shareholders, separately advanced the Cerro Moro gold discovery in Santa Cruz, Argentina until it was acquired by Yamana Gold in 2012.
His career has covered Australia, South-East Asia and South America and includes senior technical and management roles with Amoco Minerals Australia Company and Cyprus Mines Corporation, where he led teams that discovered multiple orebodies including Selwyn and Red Dome mines. Mr. Roxburgh was the Exploration Manager managing the discovery team for the Didipio gold-copper mine in the Philippines. He holds a BSc (1971) in Geology and Geophysics from the University of Sydney.
