VANCOUVER, Feb. 12, 2020 /PRNewswire/ - Garibaldi Resources
(TSXV: GGI) (the "Company" or "Garibaldi") is pleased to announce
that Mr. Mark Scott, most recently
Vice President of Vale Canada Ltd. and head of its
Manitoba nickel operations, has
joined the Garibaldi board of directors and has also been appointed
VP Corporate Development effective immediately.
"With its top-tier nickel grades combined with 10 other metals,
including high-grade copper, palladium, platinum and rhodium in
massive sulphides, the Nickel Mountain discovery is an extremely
rare find on a global scale," Mr. Scott commented. "I thank
President and CEO Steve Regoci and
the Garibaldi board for the opportunity to join the team and help
unlock the full value of the most exciting nickel sulphide
exploration project in the world entering what's shaping up to be a
decade of high demand for Class 1 nickel and strategic metals.
"What has also attracted me to Garibaldi is the location of its
flagship Nickel Mountain Project in the heart of the prolific Eskay
mining camp, one of the world's premier jurisdictions for
exploration and mining," Mr. Scott continued. "Not only has the
Garibaldi team become the first to outline a nickel massive
sulphide system in the middle of this gold, silver and copper-rich
camp, including a 12-km-long belt of potential nickel deposits, but
the company holds other very strategic ground in the Eskay Camp.
Part of a broader corporate development strategy aimed at global
investors will be to creatively communicate the value of these
holdings."
Mr. Scott enjoyed a successful 20-year career with Vale SA, Inco
Ltd. and Noranda Inc. As VP of Vale Canada Ltd., he oversaw one of
Canada's largest fully integrated
mining, milling, smelting and refining complexes in Thompson, Manitoba. In this capacity he
oversaw all phases of the operation, from exploration to
reclamation, including annual production of 50kt nickel and
associated copper, cobalt, PGE and other precious metal
by-products. It has been Mr. Scott's privilege to lead teams whose
efforts have been award winning in the fields of safety and
emergency response, environmental sustainability, strategic
planning and techno-economic modelling, community and stakeholder
engagement, and workforce planning and recruitment.
Mr. Scott previously held the roles of Director of Mining and
Milling, Manager of the Thompson Nickel Refinery and General
Manager of Human Resources and Sustainability with Vale Canada Ltd.
He holds a Bachelor of Arts (BA) degree from Dalhousie University, a Master of Industrial
Relations (MIR) degree from the University of
Toronto, and a Master's Certificate in Project Management
from the Schulich School of Business (York
University) and University of
Winnipeg.
Steve Regoci, Garibaldi President
and CEO, commented: "Mark has an impressive background and we're
very pleased to have him join our team at a key moment for
Garibaldi. In many ways we're coming off our most successful season
of exploration, so exciting new opportunities are ahead of us. The
growing scale of the Nickel Mountain Eskay Camp Project is
attracting the attention of global nickel producers and
accomplished leaders like Mark
Scott. This bodes well for building shareholder value in
2020."
