Great Eagle Gold Corp. Celebrates Patricia Kovacevic's Board Appointment to the International Green Gold Council
Burnaby, BC – March 14, 2024 – Great Eagle Gold Corp. (CSE: GEGC I FRA: GI8) announces the election of Patricia Kovacevic to the Board of Directors of the International Green Gold Council (IGGC). Patricia will continue to serve as an independent board member at Great Eagle Gold Corp (“Great Eagle Gold”).
The IGGC, located in Geneva, Switzerland, is on a mission to redefine gold's function in the contemporary economy by introducing Digital Green Gold. This endeavor is a substantial change in how gold is perceived, focusing on environmental sustainability and social responsibility, while still highlighting gold's fundamental role as a universal medium of exchange.
Digital Green Gold is made up of certified gold resources, the value of which is unlocked through tokenization, and monetization in a well-regulated, stable ecosystem that is fully harmonized with the international financial system. This strategy not only retains the traditional significance of certified gold by leaving it in its untouched state but also presents an environmentally sound option to traditional mining methods.
Leading the charge in the digital green gold sector, the IGGC is dedicated to formulating legislative policies, setting standards for the industry, and advocating for practices that support a strong international market. Its aim is to develop a sustainable and just monetary system that makes the most of the inherent worth of gold.
Steve Moses, Chairman of the IGGC, remarked on Patricia Kovacevic's appointment, stating, "With her extensive background in regulatory legal matters, underscored by her senior roles in legal and regulatory affairs at CryoMass Technologies Inc. and Philip Morris International, Patricia brings a wealth of experience in collaborating with governmental regulatory bodies. Her dedication to setting leading-edge policies and standards for the burgeoning digital green gold industry is expected to be invaluable."
The IGGC’s mission revolves around four core pillars designed to nurture a thriving global digital green gold market to benefit its sponsoring members and stakeholders:
- Promoting green gold policy legislation globally for governments.
- Advocating the value proposition of digital green gold for investors.
- Developing policies and standards for Digital Green Gold Miners.
- Formulating policies and standards for Green Gold Tokenizers.
Following her appointment, Patricia shared her excitement, saying, "It's a privilege to become a member of the International Green Gold Council's Board of Directors and play a role in propelling this innovative sector forward. I am committed to the council's vision of aligning regulatory compliance with digital asset innovation, aiming to reestablish gold as a dependable, environmentally and socially responsible asset. I am enthusiastic about contributing to the development of this emerging industry and aiding Great Eagle Gold in its trailblazing position as the world's Premier Digital Green Gold Miner."

About Great Eagle Gold Corp.
Great Eagle Gold Corp. (CSE: GEGC I FRA: GI8) a Canadian public company, aims to be a leading digital green gold miner. Its unique strategy involves developing and acquiring certified gold resources to exchange into digital green gold tokens. By keeping the gold secured in the ground while tokenizing and monetizing its value, Great Eagle Gold introduces an innovative, ESG-friendly approach to wealth creation in the traditional gold mining industry.
Great Eagle Gold’s inaugural gold resource development project is situated in Colombia's second-largest gold-producing region, Bajo Cauca. Hacienda Río Rayo encompasses three fully permitted exploration and production concessions, hosting nine active alluvial gold mining operations with an average monthly output of approximately 35 kilograms. The total area covered by these three concessions is 2,523 hectares. Despite its rich history of gold production, this extensive area has never undergone modern exploration or certification of gold resources. Identifying and quantifying this untapped potential is Great Eagle Gold's primary focus. Moreover, Colombia is anticipated to be the first country to enact green gold legislation, as championed by the International Green Gold Council, thus pioneering the way for a thriving green gold tokenization industry.
Besides its Colombian project, Great Eagle Gold’s global acquisition strategy targets existing mining titles with NI 43-101 certified gold resources. This approach is in anticipation of a wave of green gold legislation, which is expected to open tokenization opportunities worldwide.
