Mr. Marc Ducharme is an exploration geologist with over 35 years of experience in geology, mineral, and mining exploration. He has extensive experience in the Abitibi region of Quebec, as well as experience in Ontario and on international projects. He has a proven track record in managing and executing exploration programs, from initial stages to advanced levels, and has extensive experience in overseeing mine site geology for both underground and open pit gold mines. He has been involved with the discovery of several new gold deposits and the expansion of numerous mineralized zones, most notably Wesdome’s Kiena Deep deposit in Val-d'Or, Quebec. Marc is a resident of Val-d’Or and will bring strong leadership and guidance to our Val-d’Or operations.
David Palmer, President and CEO of Probe, states, “We are delighted to welcome Marc to the Probe team and look forward to his valuable contributions as we expand our focus to new discoveries on our growing land position in Val-d’Or. We see tremendous upside at both Novador and the newly acquired McKenzie Break, Croinor and Beaufor projects and Marc will be part of our initiative to prioritize the discovery of new and higher-grade discoveries within the Val-d’Or East land package. Marc's familiarity with the Abitibi region of Quebec and his track record in managing and executing exploration programs will allow us to accelerate our exploration plans and advance regional exploration quickly. With his strong background in geology, mineral, and mining exploration, including the discovery of several new gold deposits, we are confident in his ability to add significant value to the Novador project while expediting the permitting timeline to reduce project risk.”
