Apollo Silver (APGO) has appointed Jocelyn Thompson as its newest director.

Ms. Thompson will begin serving on the board of directors effective November 8, 2021. Apollo has also announced the resignation of Daryn Gordon from the board of directors effective today.

With nearly 40 years of experience representing private and public companies in California and nearby states, Ms. Thompson is lauded as one of the foremost environmental lawyers in California.

In addition to her project permitting experience, Ms. Thompson will provide additional legal and governance support to the board and executive team.

She has advised the management teams of mining companies, other resource developers, and heavy manufacturing enterprises in obtaining governmental approvals and maintaining compliance with environmental laws. 

Most recently, Ms. Thompson was a partner at Alston and Bird LLP, from which she retired at the end of 2019.

Tom Peregoodoff, Apollo’s CEO, commented on Ms. Thompson’s appointment, saying,

“I look forward to the contributions she will make as we advance our portfolio of advance silver projects in San Bernardino County California and La Paz County, Arizona.”

“Jocelyn is recognised in the industry for her experience in resource project permitting and environmental governance and stewardship,” added Mr. Peregoodoff.

“I would also like to acknowledge,” he concluded, “the important contribution Daryn has made as the Chief Financial Officer and director of Apollo and wish him the best in his future endeavours.”

Apollo Silver is a mid-tier silver producer advancing pure-play silver projects in the United States. Its projects are located in Arizona and California.
