Western Copper and Gold Corp. has appointed Robert Dirk as Chief Operating Officer and Christian Roldan as Vice President, Technical, as the Casino Copper-Gold Project in Yukon progresses through permitting and technical work. This significant project, projected to last 27 years, is expected to contribute CA$429 million to Yukon’s GDP during construction and CA$1.3 billion annually during operations, while also enhancing the local power grid with LNG generators. Analysts view the Casino Project as a key M&A target in the copper market due to its large-scale potential and favorable location.
