VANCOUVER, Jan. 28, 2019 /CNW/ - Garibaldi Resources Corp.
(TSXV: GGI) (the "Company" or "Garibaldi") management is deeply
sorrowed to inform shareholders of the sudden passing of
Everett Makela, P.Geo., Director and
VP Exploration-Canada, on January 24,
2019.
Everett is survived by his beloved wife Barbara, son and
daughter Benjamin and Jane, his brother Mark and his beloved
parents Everett Sr. and Gabrielle.
With over 30 years of exploration experience, mostly with global
nickel giant Inco/Vale, Everett retired from Vale in 2012 as
Principal Geologist-North America. He continued his passion for
nickel exploration as one of the most sought-after nickel
consultants in North America. The
Sudbury native was instrumental in
building Garibaldi's team of nickel industry experts, quickly
leading to the Nickel Mountain massive sulphide discovery in the
heart of the Eskay Gold Camp in the summer of 2017.
Steve Regoci, President and CEO,
commented: "It is difficult to say farewell to a friend, an
exceptional geologist and an even better person. His dedication and
leadership will be missed. Everett was a larger than life character
as colorful as they come and very well liked, particularly with the
young geologists and support personnel he helped guide in camp.
"Everett was a driving force in the discovery of the Golden
Triangle's first magmatic nickel-copper-rich massive sulphide
system. That will be his legacy, plus the leadership he inspired in
younger geologists who will now carry on his good work.
"We look forward to building on the deposit he was so certain
was there to be found. His memory will live on forever at Nickel
Mountain.
"We extend our deepest sympathies to Everett's family - our
thoughts and prayers are with them at this difficult time," Regoci
concluded.
