"We're very pleased that Tony will continue in his advisory role for KWG now that development alternatives for the Ring of Fire are being considered," said CEO Frank Smeenk.

We know he will continue to make a significant contribution to that process for this frontier project, from his wealth of experience in his frontier development industry."
