NewNorth Projects Ltd. announces revised management role

CALGARY, Jan. 4, 2016 /CNW/ - NewNorth Projects Ltd. ("NewNorth" or the "Corporation") (TSX VENTURE: NNP) announced today that NewNorth and Greg Herndier, the President and Chief Executive Officer, have terminated their former employment arrangement and have entered into a consulting agreement, whereby Mr. Herndier will maintain the title of Chief Executive Officer and provide services to the Corporation in a reduced capacity. Given the Corporation's previously disclosed evaluation of current opportunities, as well as its ongoing efforts to manage costs, the decision was made to reduce Mr. Herndier's prior role in order to ensure NewNorth is managed in an efficient and effective manner going forward. Mr. Herndier will continue to guide the management of NewNorth by providing a minimum of 15 hours of work per week and such other time as may be required to fulfil his duties as Chief Executive Officer, and will remain a director of the Corporation.

"We have appreciated the work Greg has done over the many years with NewNorth and look forward to his continued support," stated Jack Walker, Chairman of the board of directors of NewNorth. "We believe this revised working arrangement with Greg will allow the Corporation to manage its expenses while continuing to efficiently operate going forward."
