Management Changes
Harfang is pleased to report that it has greatly strengthened its technical team by appointing on a full-time basis Mr. Jérôme Lavoie, M.Sc. in Earth Sciences, to the position of Chief Geologist effective August 8, 2022. Over the course of his career, Mr. Lavoie has gained extensive expertise on the geology and economic mineralization settings in the James Bay and Abitibi regions. This follows the departure of Mr. Ron Stewart who stepped down from his role as Vice President, Corporate Development as of June 30, in order to pursue other career opportunities.
Commented Ian Campbell, President and CEO, “We are very pleased to welcome Jérôme to the Harfang team as Chief Geologist of the Company which strengthens our technical expertise in all areas and we look forward to his contributions in our exploration programs moving forward. At the same time, while we are sorry to see Ron go, we wish him every success in his future endeavours.”
Mr. Jérôme Lavoie graduated as a geological engineer from the Université du Québec à Chicoutimi in 2002, before obtaining a M.Sc. in Earth Sciences from the same university in 2009. Mr. Lavoie has worked as a field geologist and project manager with Virginia Mines and Osisko Exploration James Bay from 2004 to 2015. He acted as a researcher in geology with the CONSOREM, a Québec-based research consortium in mineral exploration, from 2016 to June 2022.
