Mr. Thorsen has almost five decades experience in the mining industry, including 20 years with Teck Resources Ltd. At the time of his retirement from Teck in 2000, Mr. Thorsen, as president of Teck Exploration Ltd., was in charge of exploration and administration in 17 countries.

On the appointment of Mr. Thorsen, Oroco’s chief executive officer, Craig Dalziel, said: “We are delighted to once again be able to benefit from the knowledge and experience of Ken Thorsen.
