True North Gems has announced the appointment of Mr. Martin Irving to the Board of the Directors.
Mr. Martin Irving is a gemmologist with over 20 years experience working with diamonds and other minerals in Canada. Mr. Irving has extensive experience working with the Government of the Northwest Territories (GNWT), including establishing and running the GNWT minerals office, helping establish a diamond certification of origin program and developing diamond cutting facilities in the NWT. He is currently a Principal of Diamond Consultants Canada, a consulting company offering diamond expertise to people looking for opportunities in Canada.
Mr. Irving assumes his Board seat as the investment nominee for the Halman – Aldubi Group who acquired a 13 M share equity position through participation in the Company’s most recent financing.

True North’s management and Board of Directors would like to welcome Mr. Irving on behalf of the Shareholders. The Company believes that the addition of Mr. Irving’s experience gained during the emergence of the Canadian diamond sector strengthens True North’s management and will be a valuable asset as the Company engages the permitting process for the Fiskenaesset Ruby Project located in southwest Greenland.
