Mr. Mark Scott, Sassy Resources and Gander Gold CEO, commented on the occasion of Gander Gold's listing approval: "On behalf of the Board of Directors and management teams of both Sassy Resources and Gander Gold, I wish to thank and congratulate everyone on our teams who have worked so effectively over the past year to execute this vision. We have layered in more value for Sassy shareholders by creating an all-Newfoundland vehicle with tremendous upside potential, both geologically and in the market."
