VANCOUVER, Jan. 17, 2019 /CNW/ - Progress Minerals Inc. ("Progress" or the "Company") is heartbroken by the tragic loss of our colleague and dear friend K. Kirk Woodman who was kidnapped from the Company's exploration camp in Tiabongou, Burkina Faso on January 15. Our thoughts and deepest sympathies go out to his family and we will continue to support them in whatever manner they may require.

"Kirk was an incredibly accomplished and highly respected geologist with a career spanning over 30 years, with 20 years spent in West Africa. More importantly, Kirk was a kind person, a dedicated father and husband and considered a friend by all who knew him," commented Adam Spencer, CEO of Progress Minerals Inc.

Out of respect for the privacy of the family, we will not make additional comments surrounding the circumstances of his death, and we fully support further enquiry and investigation by the Burkinabe and Canadian governments to bring those responsible for this senseless act to justice.
