Pretium's Quartermain a gold bug all along

摘要

"Many people often think of me as a silver-focused individual," Pretium Resources (pvg-t) president and CEO Robert Quartermain told a crowd of around 150 in his opening remarks at a recent Association for Mineral Exploration British Columbia speaking event here."But over my thirty-five-year career, I started my first work actually in gold. For those of you familiar with the Turquetil gold property in the Northwest Territories outside of Rankin Inlet, that's where I kind of started, back in the seventies."From there, the man most know today as the former president of silver miner Silver Standard Resources (sso-t, ssri-q) went on to work in Ontario's famed Tim-mins and Red Lake gold camps, as a mine geologist nearly 2 km below surface at the Lamaque gold mine in Quebec; at Hemlo in Ontario for Teck Resources (tck-t, tck-n); at Casa Berardi in Quebec; and finally at several projects in Haiti, where he worked closely with another Vancouver-based mining magnate, Ross Beaty.
