Arianne Phosphate, a development-stage phosphate mining company advancing its Lac a Paul project in Quebec, on Jan. 24 said its Board of Directors has named Marco Gagnon as Chairman, replacing Dominique Bouchard. The company said Bouchard will remain on the Board, but has stepped away as Chairman for personal reasons.
Arianne said Gagnon is a professional geologist with 30 years of management experience within the Canadian mining industry. Since 2004, he has held senior management positions including President and CEO of Adventure Gold, a company acquired by Probe Gold, where he currently serves as Executive Vice President and a member of their Board. Gagnon has served on the Board of Arianne since 2011.
The company also said that Raef Sully, who was appointed as an advisor to Arianne last year, will join its Board. Sully most recently served as Executive Vice President of Nutrien Ltd. and was CEO of their phosphate and nitrogen divisions.
