Star Copper Corp. announced the appointment of Mr. Brad Nichol as Chairman of the Board. Concurrently, the Company announced it is undertaking a six-million-dollar financing, principally aimed at asset development.
Mr. Nichol is no stranger to building and unlocking extraordinary value in the resource sector.

He has led successive organizations through multiple rounds of private and public financing initiated and executed dual listings in North America and Europe, established key international and domestic financial relations, overseen a myriad of executive management and technical roles, and closed several accretive asset acquisitions and financings in multiple jurisdictions. He previously served at Schlumberger (now "SLB") in various technical, managerial, marketing and sales roles in North America, South America and Europe.
