Great geology needs experienced strategic and governance leadership.
For those who may not already know him, weโd like to introduce Patrick Evans, B.A., B.Sc., Independent Chairman of Forte Minerals.
Patrick has spent more than 25 years helping build, finance, and grow mining companies around the world.
His career has taken him from capital markets to boardrooms, leading companies through exploration, development, operations, mergers and acquisitions - always focused on value creation for shareholders.
He has served as CEO of several public mining companies, including Dominion Diamond Mines, Mountain Province Diamonds, Kennady Diamonds, Norsemont Mining, Weda Bay Minerals, Southern Platinum and SouthernEra Resources.
Earlier in his career, Patrick also served as Vice President of Placer Dome, gaining experience within one of the worldโs leading mining companies.
Along the way, he led or oversaw several notable transactions, including:
โ Norsemont Mining acquired by Hudbay Minerals
โ Weda Bay Minerals acquired by Eramet
โ Southern Platinum acquired by Lonmin
Today, he also serves as Chairman of Pan Global Resources and has previously been a non-executive director of five other public mining companies.
That depth of experience is exactly why we were excited to welcome Patrick to Forte as Independent Chairman of the Board in October 2025.
As Forte advances its copper and gold portfolio in Peru, his experience strengthens several areas that matter to investors:
โ Capital markets and strategic partnerships
โ Mergers, acquisitions, and corporate growth
โ Independent oversight and disciplined governance
โ A long-term focus on creating shareholder value
Patrickโs leadership has been recognized with both the PDAC Viola R. MacMillan Award and the AME Hugo Dummett Award.
He holds B.A. and B.Sc. degrees from the University of Cape Town and served as South Africaโs Consul-General to Canada under President Mandela from 1994 to 1998.
Behind every successful exploration company is more than great geology.
It requires experienced leadership, disciplined governance, and people who understand how exploration companies grow to create shareholder value.
Weโre proud to have Patrick Evans helping guide Forte through its next stage of growth.
