Gold and silver miner McEwen Mining has appointed senior executive Chris Stewart as president and COO with effect from September 1, succeeding Xavier Ochoa who resigned last month to pursue an opportunity closer to his family in South America.

Stewart has 25 years of diversified experience in the mining industry. Most recently, he was the president and CEO of Treasury Metals, a junior gold developer focused on its properties in north-western Ontario. Prior to that, Stewart was the VP of operations for Kirkland Lake Gold, where he was responsible for all mining and milling activities.

The registered professional engineer holds a BSc, Mining Engineering, from Queen's University.

“McEwen Mining is in a growth phase that relies heavily on engineering and execution of projects. In addition to growing organically, we seek opportunities to expand our production and resource base. Chris is an ideal executive to lead our organic growth initiatives, as well as evaluate and execute on acquisitions,” commented chairperson and chief owner Rob McEwen.
