Mr. Beard currently serves on the board of directors of DoublePoint Energy and EP Energy. Mr. Beard received his Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of Illinois at Urbana.

Skeena’s CEO, Walter Coles Jr. commented, “As Skeena transitions from an exploration company toward development and eventually mine production, we are fortunate to have someone of Greg’s caliber join our Board. His broad business background in the natural resource sector will undoubtedly benefit the company and our shareholders as we chart our growth strategy for the months and years ahead.”

The Board of Directors has granted Mr. Beard 300,000 incentive stock options. The options will have a term of 5 years, expiring on July 27, 2025.
