Mr. Gillett brings over 30 years’ experience serving as a director, investment banker, consultant and senior executive, including serving as chief executive officer and chief financial officer.  Throughout his career he has completed over $15 billion in financing, restructuring and merger and acquisition transactions, with the majority of those efforts being across all sectors of the oil and gas industry.

Zig Vitols, President and CEO of Select Sands states, “Mr. Gillett’s leadership skills and business acumen have already made a significant impression within the board of directors and senior management. He has the commitment and skill to lead the board and interact with senior management to guide the future of the Company and increase shareholder value.   We are delighted to have him appointed as Chairman of the Board and look forward to working more closely with him. We are confident Mr. Gillett’s experience in the oil and gas industry and his past successes in financing and recapitalization transactions will be beneficial to Select Sands' execution of its business strategy as it moves forward.”

As announced on April 10, 2018, the Company plans to immediately build a new stand-alone 400,000-ton-per-year production facility (comprising both wet and dry processing capability) to be located on the Independence property, and it is anticipated to be completed in the second half of 2018. The expansion project’s estimated cost of $4-million to $4.5-million USD is anticipated to be financed through bank financing.
