Marathon Gold COO retires following Valentine PFS results

Robbert Borst has retired as COO of TSX-listed Marathon Gold, following the release earlier this week of the prefeasibility study (PFS) results of its Valentine gold project, in central Newfoundland.

Borst, who was responsible for the successful completion of the PFS, will retire at the end of the month.

His retirement was planned to occur following delivery of the PFS, and he would provide ongoing consulting services to the company as the project transitioned to a full feasibility study and, ultimately, mine construction, the company said on Thursday.
