Clean Air Metals strengthens board to advance Thunder Bay North goals

Clean Air Metals Inc (TSX-V:AIR, OTCQB:CLRMF). has announced the appointment of Dr. David Peck to its board of directors.

Peck brings over three decades of expertise in the field of geology, particularly in platinum group and nickel-copper sulfide deposits.

Notable successes in Peck's career include the discovery of Ni-Cu-PGE mineralization in East Bull Lake intrusion west of Sudbury Ontario; significant expansion of the mineral resource at the Lac des Ilse mine for North American Palladium (now Impala Canada) and several other major discoveries in which he was a contributing team member.

Peck was instrumental in bringing both Anglo Platinum and Impala Platinum exploration teams into Ontario.

Clear Air Metals’ chief executive Jim Gallagher commented: "I am incredibly pleased to be able to work with Dave again.

“We shared several difficult, but ultimately successful years working together at North American Palladium.

“Combined with the experience of our own VP Exploration, Dr. Geoff Heggie, we have perhaps the most knowledgeable team in the industry to not only expand the resource at Thunder Bay North but generate further exploration opportunities throughout Northwestern Ontario and beyond."

"It is a great privilege to be asked to serve on the board of directors for Clean Air Metals and to resume my professional association with Jim Gallagher and Dean Chambers,” said Peck. “I see the Thunder Bay North project as a cornerstone asset upon which Clean Air Metals can build a much larger and globally attractive resource base.”

Clear Air Minerals’ company's strategy for 2024 is centered around the Thunder Bay North project.

“We believe that the Thunder Bay North project remains a relatively low-risk project that has significant upside potential when metal prices recover,” said the group in a statement. 

“Continuing to add value through down plunge exploration and additional technical work remains the first priority for the company.

“We believe in the potential for an increase in metal prices given the developing demands of the green energy revolution against the current backdrop of low investment in the global mining industry due to social, financial and political challenges.”

Clean Air Metals added that it has demonstrated a track record in early and positive engagement with Aboriginal communities in this area.
