The G Mining story begins with Louis Gignac Sr., Chairman of the Board, 2016 Canadian Mining Hall of Fame inductee. Mr. Gignac Sr. is best known for building Quebec-based Cambior Inc. into an international gold producer. Throughout Cambior’s history, the company was renowned for the construction and development of its own projects rather than relying on the more conventional approach of outsourcing by awarding EPCM contracts. After 20 years, Cambior was acquired in 2006 for US$1.3 billion, sparking the creation of the family owned engineering and consulting firm, G Mining Services (GMS). Over the next 15 years, GMS would become a leader in mining project execution, using the same “self-perform” approach to generate value for the likes of Newmont Corporation and the Lundin Group. With a combined construction cost of $2 billion, GMS has delivered 100% of its projects at or below budget, and on schedule. In 2020, G Mining Ventures (GMIN) was created to acquire direct ownership of projects and capitalize on the value uplift that successful mine development offers. Leading the company is Louis-Pierre Gignac, CEO and Director, an experienced mining engineer who has been with GMS from the outset. With strong access to capital via a supportive shareholder base coupled with proven development expertise, we are well position to grow the company into the next mid-tier precious metal producer. Our mission is to acquire, build and operate sustainable precious metal mining operations using our proven “self-perform” approach, while focusing on the health and safety of our employees and host communities, first. Our goal is to build a leading intermediate gold producer.
