Golden Minerals Announces Leadership Transition and Argentine Project Developments

Golden Minerals Company has announced that Pablo Castanos will step down from his position as President and CEO, effective September 30, 2026. While Castanos will continue as a director, the Board has appointed David Watkins as the new President and CEO. Watkins, a seasoned mining executive and exploration geologist, has been a director since 2009.

The company's Argentine projects are undergoing significant changes. Cascadero Copper Corporation, Golden's partner in the Sarita Este and Desierto projects, plans to sell its interests in these projects to Lumina Copper Corporation, an affiliate of First Quantum Minerals. Golden Minerals is planning a drill program at the Desierto project, expected to be announced later this month.
