Rouyn Noranda, Q.C. – TheNewswire – September 8, 2025 – Granada Gold Mine Inc. (TSXV: GGM) (OTC: GBBFF) (Frankfurt: B6D) (the “Company” or “Granada”) is pleased to announce the appointment of Christopher Ecclestone as a director of the Company.
Christopher Ecclestone is a principal, mining analyst, and commodity strategist at Hallgarten & Company. Currently based in London, England, he has extensive international mining experience. In North America, he has been the CEO and director of several listed companies on the TSX, TSX-V and CSE.
Mr. Ecclestone also serves as Chief Executive Officer of Mission Critical Metals, which focuses on securing supply chains for defense-critical minerals, positioning him well to evaluate strategic opportunities for Granada’s rubidium asset. His expertise spans both precious and critical metals markets,
“I’m very excited by the opportunity at Granada Gold Mine, particularly in light of its past-producing status. The mantra these days, particularly with gold around US$3,500 per ounce, is Production, Production, Production and applying the various skillsets of the Granada team we shall hopefully bring this storied property back onto the radar of gold investors,” stated Christopher Ecclestone.
He went on to comment, “My eye was also caught by the Rubidium potential at the Company, a critical metal on which I have been vocal in the recent past.”
Frank J. Basa, P.Eng., President and CEO of Granada Gold Mine, commented: “Christopher brings invaluable expertise at a pivotal moment for Granada. His deep understanding of critical and strategic minerals aligns perfectly with our rubidium discovery, where we’ve achieved 99% extraction rates using the Re-2Ox process. Combined with his focus on production and capital markets experience, Christopher will be instrumental as we advance both our gold production strategy, and our position as a potential supplier of strategic minerals. The convergence of these opportunities at Granada creates exceptional value potential for both traditional gold investors and those focused on securing critical mineral supply chains.”
