Magna Terra Minerals Inc. has appointed David Copeland as Vice President, Exploration and Tanya Tettelaar as Chief Geologist.

The appointments add two professional geologists to the leadership team as Magna Terra advances its early-stage exploration portfolio in Atlantic Canada. The company holds 100%-owned or controlled properties across New Brunswick and Newfoundland and Labrador, focusing on the Humber, Rocky Brook and Prospect Or's Dream projects.

Meanwhile, external partners are funding and executing drill programs at the Great Northern and Luna Roja properties under existing option agreements.

“We are thrilled to welcome David and Tanya into their new roles with the Company. Both Tanya and David are highly accomplished professional geologists that bring a track record of discovery and advancement of gold and base metal projects in Eastern Canada. We look forward to David and Tanya continuing to lead our energetic and talented team of geologists as we look to accelerate Magna Terra's business plan of identifying and advancing early-stage discovery and growth opportunities, across our broad project portfolio.”
