El Capitan Precious Metals Inc. announced appointment of Timothy J. Gay, CPA, CVA, to its Board of Directors. The announcement comes on the heels of last week's announcement that geologist Clyde L. Smith has joined the ECPN Board. According to Board Chairman John F. Stapleton, the two new appointments to the ECPN Board reflect the company's commitment to expanding and strengthening its Board of Directors.

Mr. Gay's appointment is effective immediately. Mr. Gay joins Stapleton and ECPN President and CEO Chuck Mottley—along with new Board appointee Dr. Clyde Smith—on the El Capitan Board of Directors and will be introduced at the El Capitan AGM on March 22, 2016 in Scottsdale, Arizona.
