Marvel Discovery Corp is adding strength to its board of directors with the appointment of veteran geologist Peter Born.
As an experienced geologist with 35 years of expertise in exploration, modelling, and feasibility studies, Born brings extensive knowledge from the Abitibi greenstone and gold belt in Ontario and Quebec, Marvel said in a statement.
The new board member has worked on significant mining projects, including the Meliadine gold deposit in Nunavut and the Aquarius gold deposit in Ontario. He has also been involved in exploration for uranium, gold, lithium, and base metals.
In a statement, Marvel told shareholders that as a three-time recipient of the National Science and Engineering Research Council Post-Graduate Scholarship, Born has made valuable contributions to the understanding of gold mineralization in the Southern Abitibi Greenstone Belt.
Marvel CEO Karim Rayani expressed to investors that Born’s knowledge, understanding of mineral exploration, and strong track record in developing assets “will be of great benefit” to the company as it advances its mineral assets, which include nickel, copper, uranium, and gold projects.
“While the resource market has suffered so far in 2023, we hold the view that the long-term outlook for gold is extremely bullish,” Rayani said.
“Nickel and copper will remain key assets as North America accelerates its Go-Green plan, and we firmly believe uranium will be the next hot commodity play, as nuclear energy is an important part of the solution as we electrify our cities and our economy."
