Premier Gold Mines Limited announced that two key roles have been filled within its project development team. Dyane Duquette has been retained as Director, Geology and Amiel Blajchman has been retained as Director, Environment, Aboriginal and Community Affairs. Dyane brings to Premier over 19 years' experience in exploration, mine production, resource estimation and project evaluation and will play a key role in advancing the Company's project pipeline.

Mrs. Duquette was most recently Geology Superintendent for Agnico Eagle Mines Limited and obtained her Bachelor of Sciences degree in Geology from the University of Ottawa. In her new position, Dyane will focus on deposit development, mineral resource estimation and optimization and due diligence.

Mr. Blajchman comes to Premier Gold from the Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency, where he had responsibility for the federal environmental assessment process and aboriginal consultations within a diverse range of projects in Ontario (including mining in Northern Ontario). Previously, Amiel was the Greenspace and Public Outreach Manager for what is now the Rouge National Park. In his new position, Amiel will oversee Premier's permitting, environmental safeguarding & regulation and stakeholder engagement activities.
