The management changes reflect a broader repositioning of Evergold, including a singular strategic focus on the Company’s 100%-owned Golden Lion gold-silver project, located in the prolific and very active Toodoggone district of British Columbia. In support of the repositioning, the Company recently entered into a strategic partnership with the OreGroup (news, January 5, 2026). OreGroup will advise Evergold on capital markets strategy, investor engagement, and corporate development as the Company moves forward.
