Tony Makuch, Discovery’s CEO, commented: “We are delighted to welcome Pierre, Jennifer, Duncan and Eric to Discovery’s executive team. They are all highly accomplished professionals with a track record of success in the mining industry, who I have had the privilege of knowing and working with for many years. Most recently, they were all part of our team at Kirkland Lake Gold (“KL”), where over a six-year period we more than quadrupled annual gold production to over 1.4 million ounces. All four contributed to the recently completed acquisition of the Porcupine Complex, with Pierre, Duncan and Eric serving as part of the due diligence team, and Jennifer acting as Chair of the special committee of the Board.   I am looking forward to working with each of them again and to the important contribution they will make as we continue to advance Porcupine, and Discovery, towards a very successful future.”
