Just a reminder of what’s still to come this year:
And while the most articulate, hard-working, intelligent and put his own money where his mouth is, Sam “Bruce” Lee, is now basically full-time telling the story all over the world, he his now accompanied by a first-rate CFO and VP of Corporate Development doing so as well. Sam has also noted two invaluable team assets you must never ever forget about:
- Kevin O’Kane – Basically running day-to-day operations now. Mr. O’Kane has nearly 40 years of extensive business and operating leadership expertise in the natural resource industry. He spent 37 years at BHP Billiton developing, expanding, and operating some of the most formative copper mines in the world which included Spence, Cerro Colorado and Minera Escondida. Mr. O’Kane started his career at the Island Copper Mine situated adjacent to Northisle’s project, and spent the following 12 years progressing to the role of Chief Mining Engineer. During his tenure at BHP Billiton he also served as Vice President Health, Safety, Environment and Community for the Copper Business. Most recently, Mr. O’Kane held the position of Executive Vice-President and Chief Operating Officer at SSR Mining Inc, where he led all aspects of its operations, permitting, and sustainability programs globally while achieving record production at all three of its producing mines. Mr. O’Kane also serves on the board of Autlan and IntelliSense.io.
- Alex Davidson – Heading the Technical Committee – With over four decades of expertise in mineral exploration and corporate development Alexander Davidson stands out as a distinguished mining executive worldwide. As Executive Vice President of Barrick Gold he drove the company to become the leading gold producer globally by securing major discoveries and making strategic acquisitions. Through his leadership Barrick Gold discovered and developed world-class deposits such as Lagunas Norte, Pascua-Lama, Pierina, and Veladero. Alex earned a place in the Canadian Mining Hall of Fame as a 2023 inductee while receiving numerous industry honors. He holds board positions with both South Pacific Metals Corp. and Capital Limited. Alex holds B.Sc. and M.Sc. degrees in Economic Geology from McGill University.
What would other companies give to have these two distinguish gentlemen as key members of their team?
Knowing I risk compliments like these to be bloodied if NCX falters, I am riding it one more time, sink or swim:
