His vertically integrated skill set led Mr. Demers to become the primary point of contact with senior mining analysts and investment bankers. In 2013 Hecla Mines (USA) acquired Aurizon for $796 million.3

The King Tut project ("King Tut") and Dunlop Bay projects ("Dunlop Bay") both significant gold potential with both properties being located along emerging gold trends and will benefit from modern exploration techniques and technologies. King Tut follows the same Chicobi Fault as the Amex Perron high grade gold deposit while the Dunlop Project is located along the Detour-Grasset corridor in an inferred intrusion related context."
Amrik Virk, Chief Executive Officer, commented, "Martin brings an invaluable range of skills in combination with an in-depth regional expertise to the Company.
