"We are extremely pleased to add Moira to the team as a Technical Advisor," states Richard Drechsler, Trifecta's President and CEO.

As Chief Geologist, Nevada for Fronteer Gold, Dr. Smith was instrumental in the successful advancement of Long Canyon, Fronteer Gold's flagship project. She developed an understanding of the geology and controls on mineralization at Long Canyon and built the geological model for ongoing exploration and resource growth prior to its sale to Newmont in 2011.
Prior to Fronteer Gold, she managed exploration programs for Teck on several high-profile, advanced-stage projects (now operating mines) throughout the Americas, including Pogo gold deposit in Alaska, one of the cornerstone deposits in the Tintina Gold Belt; the Petaquilla (now Cobre Panama) Cu-Mo-Au porphyry deposit in Panama; and the El Limon gold deposit in Mexico. Dr. Smith has a Ph.D. in Geology from the University of Arizona and is a P.Geo. (British Columbia). She has held board or executive positions with numerous industry associations, served as president of the Society of Economic Geologists and is a recent winner of the Colin Spence award from the Association for Mineral Exploration of B.C. Dr. Smith is also a director of Discovery Metals Corp. and Galiano Gold Company.
Trifecta recently announced that it entered into a binding agreement with Strategic Metals Ltd. to acquire up to 100% of Mt.
