Nuclear Fuels Inc. (CSE: NF) (OTCQX: NFUNF) (‘Nuclear Fuels’ or the ‘Company’) announces with profound sadness, that Mr. Eugene Spiering a valued member of Nuclear Fuels’ Board of Directors, passed away earlier this week.
Eugene (Gene) Spiering was a well-respected geologist, globally renown for his work in uranium exploration with over 35 years of international experience in mineral exploration and senior level project management in the western United States , South America , and Europe . Gene’s work on the Kaycee Uranium District in the early 1980s provided the foundational geological framework for Nuclear Fuels’ flagship project. He served as a project geologist for Energy Fuels Nuclear in the 1990s, and during his tenure as Vice President of Exploration for Quaterra Resources, discovered the only two new uranium deposits in Arizona . More recently, as a member of the Company’s Board of Directors, his firsthand knowledge of the Kaycee area was invaluable and key to the exploration success on the Project thus far.
Greg Huffman , Chief Executive Officer, commented: ‘It is with great sadness we announce the loss of Gene as a director of the Company. He will be remembered as an icon in the uranium geological community, as well as for his friendly and outgoing nature. Our thoughts are with his family and loved ones.’
