TORONTO, Ontario — January 19, 2026 — Leads & Copy — Evergold Corp. has announced the appointment of Alex Walcott as President and CEO, effective immediately. Walcott, a current director and P.Geo., steps into the role as part of a management and board reset following the company’s 2025 corporate restructuring. Charles James “Charlie” Greig, a director and Chief Exploration Officer since 2023, is now Executive Chairman.
Kevin Keough, the outgoing President and CEO, is stepping down from his role and from the Board. Leon Ho, CPA, will join the Company as Chief Financial Officer, replacing Tracy Albert.
According to Evergold’s newly appointed CEO Alex Walcott, the 2025 restructuring resulted in a “clean, tightly held vehicle with approximately 13 million shares outstanding.” Walcott added that with high insider ownership and a new leadership team, the company is focused on advancing the Golden Lion project. He believes this reset positions Evergold to execute efficiently and realize meaningful value creation for shareholders.
Greig welcomed Walcott, citing his deep technical background, track record of exploration success, and familiarity with Evergold’s assets and the Toodoggone district as qualities that will position him well to lead the Company through its next phase of growth. Greig also thanked Keough and Albert for their dedication and contributions to the Company.
Walcott has more than 25 years of experience in mineral exploration. Through his geophysical contracting firm, Peter E. Walcott & Associates Limited, he has carried out geophysical surveys fundamental to exploration discoveries at GT Gold’s Saddle North, Amarc Resources’ Aurora, and Northwest Copper’s East Niv. In addition, Walcott first staked Metal Energy’s Niv copper-gold property, which he, alongside Greig, recently optioned to that company, where he also serves as an advisor.
Ho is a Chartered Professional Accountant with years of experience working with mining exploration companies. He is a principal at Cross Davis & Company LLP, a chartered professional accounting firm providing accounting services to publicly listed entities, primarily in the mining sector.
These management changes reflect a broader repositioning of Evergold, including a strategic focus on the Golden Lion gold-silver project, located in the Toodoggone district of British Columbia. The Company recently entered into a strategic partnership with the OreGroup, who will advise Evergold on capital markets strategy, investor engagement, and corporate development.
Evergold Corp. is focused on advancing the GL1 Main Zone gold-silver discovery at Golden Lion. The Company has demonstrated a near-surface, epithermal-style gold and silver bearing system with indications of strike length, as well as high-grade copper rich veins with gold and silver credits northeast of GL1 Main Zone. Evergold intends to apply a disciplined approach to exploration that in the 2026 field season will be drill-focused.
