ABOUT THE SPEAKER:
Pierre Lassonde, OC, GOQ, BA, P.Eng., MBA, CFA, is an entrepreneur, investor, and philanthropist whose career in the natural resources industry spans more than five decades. He is widely recognized for pioneering the modern mining royalty business and for helping build companies that have created lasting value for shareholders, employees, and the communities where they operate.
In 1982, Mr. Lassonde and Seymour Schulich co-founded Franco-Nevada with an initial investment of approximately $2 million. The company pioneered the modern gold royalty model and, over its first two decades, delivered an annualized return of about 36 percent before its acquisition by Newmont Mining in 2002. Mr. Lassonde later served as President of Newmont and as Chair of the World Gold Council, where he helped advance the development of SPDR Gold Shares (GLD). In 2007–08, he and former colleagues relaunched Franco-Nevada as an independent public company, acquiring a portfolio of royalty assets from Newmont. He has since helped establish and support a number of successful mining companies, including Foran Mining, Prime Mining, Orla Mining, Talamore Mining, Cadillac Mining, ATEX Resources, and Southern Cross Gold.
An Officer of the Order of Canada and a Grand Officer of the National Order of Québec, Mr. Lassonde is a member of the Canadian Business Hall of Fame and the Canadian and American Mining Halls of Fame.
