Louis-Pierre Gignac, President & Chief Executive Officer of GMIN, comments:

“We are delighted to welcome two new cornerstone partners in Franco-Nevada and La Mancha who are committed to the longterm success and growth of GMIN.

“Building on our positive feasibility study released earlier this year, this financing package marks the next step in the progression of GMIN and allows us to continue to unlock value at TZ. The imminent development of TZ will deliver value to our growing stakeholder group, including generating attractive job opportunities and economic prosperity in Pará State.”
