Pretium Resources Inc. announces that Kenneth C. McNaughton, Vice President and Chief Exploration Officer, has informed the Company that he will be retiring effective September 30, 2020. Mr. McNaughton has been responsible for Pretivm's greenfield exploration programs since joining the Company in 2011, shortly after it was formed to advance the early exploration-stage Brucejack Project. He had led the exploration programs for both the Brucejack and Snowfield projects prior to their acquisition by Pretivm and had been responsible for the exploration program in 2009, when bonanza-grade drilling results established Brucejack as a high-grade gold discovery. Most recently, Mr. McNaughton led Pretivm's team responsible for the Bowser regional exploration program.
