Roxanne has been an integral and dedicated member of the AME team, with many great accomplishments during her time. Although we are sad to see her go, we are excited for her to make this transition and wish her the best of luck in all of her future endeavours. Read more.
AME is also pleased to welcome Kylie Williams to the team as the Director of Communications and Member Relations.

Gil is a long-time AME supporter, who has been working in exploration in BC for more than 40 years as a technician. There is a GoFundMe fundraiser page to support Gil's rehabilitation. Read more.
