An intermediate gold mining company, with a portfolio spanning Canada, the United States and Mexico, has announced a new President and CEO with rumours circling of a major asset sale.
New Gold has announced in a statement this week that it has appointed Renaud Adams as the new President and Chief Executive Officer of the company.
