Previously Mr. Hibdon led near mine exploration efforts at Barrick Gold Corporation's Goldstrike UG Mine where he oversaw extensive RC and core drilling programs while helping build the operation's reserves, and was also a member of the exploration team at Nevada Pacific Gold prior to the takeover of the company by U.S. Gold in 2007.

Mr. Hibdon holds a B.Sc. in Geology from the New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology and is a Registered Member with the Society for Mining, Metallurgy, and Exploration (SME).

"We are pleased to welcome Zachery and Carson with their combined wealth of exploration and financial management experience to the Kraken team," stated CEO Matthew Schwab. "As we move forward with our exploration and development efforts in the US, between Zachery's time working directly with the USFS and the BLM, and his extensive geological and project management experience, in addition to Carson's valuable financial management experience from his time working with similar junior exploration companies across North America, Kraken is perfectly situated to continue progressing toward our strategic goal of building a hub and spoke mining model for domestic uranium production in the US."
