Canadian mining company TNR Gold Corp (TSX-V:TNR) has secured the backing of proxy advisory firm Institutional Shareholder Services (ISS) in its board battle, with ISS recommending shareholders elect Kirill Klip. ISS cited Klip's institutional knowledge and continuity as crucial for TNR Gold's future, and noted a 30% increase in share price following a private placement during his tenure. The firm concluded that the opposing candidate, Jon Chrisitan Evensen, failed to articulate an adequate go-forward plan.
