Junior mining company Sandspring Resources has appointed Scott Issel as chief financial officer.
Issel joined Sandspring in May 2009 as the controller of GoldHeart Investment, a subsidiary company of Sandspring and owner of the original Toroparu gold-copper project in Guyana, South America through a Guyanese operating company, ETK.
He assisted in the reverse takeover transaction of Sandspring which served as the company’s qualifying transaction for listing on the TSX Venture Exchange.
Most recently Issel served as controller of Sandspring Resources and has helped ensure a smooth transition to the public capital markets.
Carmelo Marrelli has resigned as chief financial officer of Sandspring and will continue to provide financial consulting services to the company.
Abraham Drost, president of Sandspring, says: "We thank Carmelo Marrelli for his capable service to Sandspring as chief financial officer during the early period of the company’s entry into the public capital markets. We look forward to continuing to work with Carmelo on a consulting basis going forward. With the appointment of Scott Issel as chief financial officer for Sandspring, responsibility for the company’s financial affairs remains in very solid hands."
