York Harbour Metals Inc. announced a strategic reorganization of its management team, highlighted by the appointment of Blair Naughty as Interim President, effective immediately. Bringing over 35 years of experience in the securities, capital markets, and venture capital sectors, Blair Naughty stands at the forefront of guiding York Harbour Metals through its next growth phase. His career, which spans roles at Midland Walwyn, Sprott Securities, and Yorkton Securities, along with his achievements as a venture capitalist and entrepreneur, has given him an extensive understanding of the mining sector and public market dynamics.

This blend of experience positions him ideally to steer the company towards new heights.
