Samuelson brings more than 25 years of experience in corporate finance, capital markets, mergers and acquisitions, and public company leadership across various industries.

"Blue Gold is entering a pivotal phase as we continue building our vertically integrated mine-to-wallet gold platform," said Andrew Cavaghan, Chief Executive Officer of Blue Gold. "Jim's background and capabilities make him an excellent fit for the Company's next stage of evolution."

Blue Gold describes itself as a gold mining company with infrastructure to deliver gold from mine-to-wallet, leveraging modern technologies to sell gold directly to customers in tokenized form.
