BROSSARD, QC, Oct. 11,
2024 /PRNewswire/ - G Mining Ventures Corp.
("GMIN" or the "Corporation") (TSX: GMIN) (OTCQX:
GMINF) announced today that it has appointed Naguib Sawiris, founder of the La Mancha group
("La Mancha"), to its Board of Directors, effective
October 11, 2024.
"We welcome Naguib to the G Mining Ventures board," said
Louis Gignac Sr., GMIN's Chairman
of the Board, "Naguib's extensive experience supporting growing
companies, in telecom, real estate and more notably in the mining
sector, spans many decades. His role as strategic investor has
helped create billions of dollars in shareholder value, and his
on-going support of GMIN's vision and strategy has been
instrumental in transforming GMIN from explorer-developer to an
Americas-focused gold producer. He has an impressive track record
of identifying investment opportunities, prioritizing proactive
sustainability initiatives, and advising growing businesses. We
look forward to continuing our relationship with Naguib in this new
role as a fellow Board director."
In connection with the appointment of Mr. Sawiris, Mr.
Karim Nasr has ceased his role as
the La Mancha representative on the GMIN Board. The GMIN Board of
Directors will consist of 10 members.
Louis Gignac Sr. continued, "GMIN
has benefitted from Karim's guidance stemming from his strong
business acumen garnered in building strong and sustainable
businesses in the telecom and mining industries. We thank Karim for
his leadership and service over the past two years."
Mr. Sawiris is a manager of La Mancha Holding Sàrl, which he
took private in 2012 with the vision to bring operational
efficiency and ambition to a sector dominated by smaller junior
companies. In 2015, he took the strategic decision to vend in La
Mancha's key publicly listed stakes into two regionally focused
junior miners, Evolution Mining and Endeavour Mining, resulting in
La Mancha becoming the largest shareholder in each of these
companies. In the years that followed, Mr. Sawiris used his Board
positions and La Mancha's capital to support each of these
companies, supporting the establishment of two multi-billion dollar
mid-tier mining companies. Since 2021, La Mancha operates a
Luxembourg-based fund, La Mancha
Resource Fund SCSp, which focuses on the precious and energy
transition metals sectors.
In addition to his role at La Mancha, Mr. Sawiris holds several
board positions, including Executive Chairman of Orascom Investment
Holding S.A.E. and Chairman of Ora Developers.
He holds a diploma in Mechanical Engineering with a master's in
Technical Administration from the Federal Institute of Technology
Zurich (ETH). He is also the recipient of numerous
honorary degrees, industry awards and civic honours, including the
Honor of Commander of the "Légion d'Honneur" (the highest
award given by the French Republic for outstanding services
rendered to France). In 2011, Mr.
Sawiris was awarded the Honor of Commander of the Order of the
"Stella della Solidarieta Italiana" (Star of Italian
Solidarity).
