Ken received B.Sc. and M.Sc. degrees in Mining Engineering from Queen’s University in Kingston, Ontario. He spent the first 21 years of his career at Noranda in various operational, R&D and corporate roles. In 1995, Ken joined Diamond Fields Resources as Vice President, Technology with responsibility for the feasibility study of the Voisey’s Bay nickel-copper deposit. Upon the acquisition of Voisey’s Bay by Inco, Ken joined Westmin Resources (subsequently acquired by Boliden) as Vice President, Operations. After the successful startup of the Lomas Bayas copper mine in Chile, he moved on to Northgate to take on the significant challenge of re-launching the company as an operating company through the turnaround of the recently commissioned but floundering Kemess South copper-gold mine. Kemess South is now one of the lowest cost gold mines in the world. During his tenure, Northgate’s market capitalization has increased by 40 times to over $1 billion. In 2006, Ken was the recipient of the prestigious Canadian Mineral Processor of the Year Award.
Jon has been Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of Northgate since 2001. During his career at Northgate, he has overseen the financial transformation of the company from a $30 million market capitalization, TSX-listed, junior gold mining company with over $200 million in debt to a duel-listed (TSX; AMEX), SOX-404 compliant intermediate gold producer with no debt and substantial cash balances. Before joining Northgate, Jon spent four years in the corporate development group at Noranda Inc., examining various investment and divestment opportunities. Prior to that, he spent eight years at Noranda Sales Corporation, purchasing primary and secondary copper and precious metal feeds for Noranda’s copper metallurgical operations. Jon holds a BASc and a MASc in Chemical Engineering from the University of Toronto and a MBA from York University.
Peter MacPhail joined Northgate in 2004 and is currently the Chief Operating Officer of the company. In early 2008, Peter relocated to Australia to head up Northgate Australian Ventures, a wholly owned subsidiary which owns and operates the Fosterville and Stawell Gold Mines in Victoria. Peter's career spans 22 years in various operations and project related positions with Canadian mining companies, including Noranda, Teck Corporation and Barrick Gold.
