Courtney states: “The mining and mineral exploration sector in Canada has tremendous potential for re-growth now that the bottom appears to have been reached in the recent down cycle. There is also a high potential that there will be continued consolidation of the juniors to meet the new realities for the mining sector. As project and corporate funding flows back in to the sector, there will be a rekindled need for management and administrative expertise to help ensure those funds are spent well. Because the commodity price cycle will always be a major issue for mining companies, a highly liquid labour pool will be required to match the ebb and flow of the activities. Interim management services are a great opportunity for mining and exploration companies to fill in their talent needs as the industry grows again.”
“All sectors go through cycles and we believe mining is in one now where the services of our interim executive and business advisory teams could be highly valued. We’re fortunate that Courtney has joined us to lead that initiative. As a director, CFO, President and Interim CEO, and having valuated over 90 mining and exploration projects, undertaken treasury activities, corporate amalgamations, joint venture agreements and dealt with distressed situations, he has an intimate sense of the industry and its challenges,” adds Mark.
As Principal and Head of Practice – Mining, Courtney will be able to draw on the multiple resources within both Osborne Interim Management and Osborne Business Advisors to assist companies whether they require executive leadership, operational or financial expertise, senior human resources assistance or business development.
