His extensive experience working collaboratively with both indigenous communities as well as regulatory agencies to advance mineral development brings tremendous advantages to our group. The selection of a leader in this field of expertise for this role underscores our profound recognition of the critical role that social responsibility and meaningful indigenous consultation play in both the early exploration and subsequent development phases. We are confident that he can adeptly guide the team to navigate these stages, steadfastly upholding his principles while engaging with stakeholders across Ontario, where immense value can be unlocked with the right approach."
