Altai Resources Appoints Bruce McCannel to Board

Altai Resources appointed Bruce McCannel to its board of directors, replacing Eric Yao who resigned effective immediately. The company announced the change in a statement Wednesday, thanking Yao for his service without giving a reason for his departure.

McCannel is a corporate consultant specializing in government relations, stakeholder engagement, and strategic communications. He currently sits on the boards of Jade Power Trust and a private enhanced oil recovery company. His public sector career with the government of Saskatchewan included roles as executive director of park management services, budget policy analyst for the Treasury Board, and policy analyst for taxation and intergovernmental affairs. He holds a Master of Public Administration and a Bachelor of Business Administration in Finance.

For a junior resource company like Altai, a director with government-relations experience and public-sector financial analysis can matter when navigating permitting processes or engaging with provincial authorities. The company describes itself as a Toronto-based junior resource firm with an investment portfolio limited to cash and cash equivalents. Its shares trade on the NEX board of the TSX Venture Exchange under the symbol ATI.H.

The resignation of Yao, whose background was not detailed in the release, leaves McCannel as the more recently appointed member of the board. The company did not announce any operational initiatives alongside the board change.
