A management shakeup is underway at West Red Lake Gold Mines (TSXV: WRLG). The firm this morning revealed that former chief executive officer Tom Meredith has transitioned to the role of Executive Chairman, making way for a new CEO to lead the company.

We will expand and de-risk the Company’s assets through comprehensive and modern techniques. Getting Madsen back up and running better than ever is just one part of our vision to create a world-class company and I will bring all of my energy to the role,” commented Williams on taking on the role.
