Stephen de Jong’s Integra Gold was sold last year to Eldorado Gold (TSX:ELD<\/a>,NYSE:EGO) in a C$590-million deal<\/a>, but it’s clear that he’s kept busy since then.<\/p>\n

de Jong was CEO of Integra Gold at the time of the sale, and he quickly took on the role of chairman at Integra Resources (TSXV:ITR<\/a>), a new company that includes many of the people involved with Integra Gold at the time it was sold. He’s also assumed the role of CEO at VRify, another new company.<\/p>\n

Speaking to the Investing News Network at the recent International Mining Investment Conference<\/a>, de Jong explained what both Integra Resources and VRify are up to right now.<\/p>\n

Integra Resources acquired two Idaho-based assets from Kinross Gold (TSX:K<\/a>,NYSE:KGC) earlier this year<\/a>, and de Jong said the company recently published initial results<\/a> from drilling at one of those projects. The company will be receiving further results over the summer.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, VRify’s objective is to help mining companies use technology<\/a> to market themselves to investors in new ways.<\/p>\n

\u201cBuilding on everything we learned at Integra Gold [about] how to market a company and the value proposition that gold-mining companies have in general \u2026 [we want to] put that into a digital platform where investors can learn about companies and make more informed, better decisions,\u201d de Jong said.<\/p>\n

He also emphasized that it’s important for mining companies to connect with non-traditional investors, commenting, \u201cwe need to attract capital back to our industry; there’s plenty of money in the world, we just need to find a way to bring it back and explain why it’s worth everyone’s time to invest in our sector.\u201d<\/p>\n

Watch the video above for more from de Jong. The transcript for this interview will be added shortly.<\/p>\n
