Vancouver-based NovaRed Mining says it has hired former U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security and current Special Envoy to the Shield of the Americas, Secretary Kristi Noem, in a strategic advisory role.
“Kristi brings exceptional leadership experience and a deep understanding of the policy, regulatory, and economic factors that influence infrastructure investment, resource development, and long-term economic growth. Her perspective and experience working across government and industry will be valuable as NovaRed advances its corporate development strategy and evaluates new opportunities,” stated Brian Goss, Chief Executive Officer of NovaRed Mining Inc.
Noem, who was fired by the U.S. president this year, says in the statement she’s excited to contribute her experience in helping the company in an increasingly competitive global environment for critical minerals.
“NovaRed is pursuing opportunities in sectors that will remain important to long-term growth and supply-chain resilience, and I am excited to contribute my experience in public policy, stakeholder engagement, and strategic planning as the Company advances its initiatives,” stated Noem.
A statement released from NovaRed, it stated that “Noem’s appointment reflects NovaRed’s commitment to assembling an advisory team with expertise across government, industry, capital markets, infrastructure, and resource development.”
“By combining machine learning-driven geospatial intelligence with traditional geological expertise, the Company seeks to identify and advance domestic exploration opportunities that support long-term economic and strategic objectives.”
