Majestic Gold Corp. (TSXV:MJS):Â While there was no news about the company last week, the stock had been in sharp focus and ended up with gains of 7% as a consequence. However, on February 7, Majestic Gold Corp. came into focus after it announced that it had appointed a new Chief Executive Officer and President of the company in the form of Shaohui Chen on an interim basis.
The appointment had gone into effect immediately. It was noted at the time that Chen had been associated with the company since 2007, and at the time he was a director at Majestic Gold Corp. as well as its Chief Financial Officer.
Santacruz Silver Mining Ltd. (TSXV: SCZ) On April 4, the company announced that it had inked a binding term sheet with Glencore entities dated March 28, 2024. As per the term sheet, Santacruz Silver Mining Ltd. would amend some of the transaction documents pertaining to the prior sale of Glencore’s Bolivian mining assets to the company.
