TORONTO, July 17 /CNW/ - Platinex Inc. (TSX Venture: PTX) today announced that it has retained the services of Chief Glenn Nolan to facilitate contact with First Nations communities and provide a hands on aboriginal perspective for the Company. Chief Nolan brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to his role as Advisor. Interestingly, during the late 1970s and '80s, Chief Nolan worked extensively in exploration, conducting geophysical surveys throughout Canada, which gives him valuable insight into the programs and procedures Platinex aims to employ on its properties in cooperation with First Nations groups.
Chief Nolan is the elected Chief of the Missanabie Cree First Nation; currently serves as the second Vice President of the Prospectors and Developers Association of Canada; and is President of Learning Together, a nonprofit organization sharing information and experience with Aboriginal communities across Canada and internationally.
James Trusler, President and CEO of Platinex, stated, "Chief Nolan has demonstrated strong leadership in both the First Nations community and the mineral exploration industry; he is a distinguished addition to our Platinex team."
