Jacques Trottier, PhD, in Memoriam
Mr. Trottier Ph.D (1955 – 2026) was an early member of the Precore Gold team, and his great depth of geological knowledge and decades of successful experience, especially in Peru, was instrumental in the evaluation of the Company’s Arikepay Project in Southern Peru. It is in great part, that his input and his excitement over Arikepay, led to selecting it as our flagship project. “Jacques, your insight, enthusiasm and passion for this industry will forever be missed,” Paul A. Dumas.
Mr. Trottier was the founder and Executive Chairman of the Board of Amex Exploration Inc, a junior gold exploration company. Mr. Trottier is commended for several significant gold deposit discoveries at their 100%-owned Perron Gold Project, located in Quebec, Canada. As per their December 2024 Preliminary Economic Assessment, the Perron Gold Project has over 1 million ounces of gold at an average diluted grade of 5.26 grams per tonne, with a life of mine of 10 years at a production rate of 101,000 ounces/year.
Prior to this, Mr. Trottier spent 20 years working in Peru as President of Sulliden Exploration Inc. During this time, he spearheaded the company’s initiatives in country with considerable success. Among his accomplishments are the discovery of two copper-gold porphyry systems (Cementerio and San Antonio) on the Huaquillas property in Northern Peru, as well as the discovery of a polymetallic high-grade zinc-lead-silver massive sulfide zone (known as Puna Puna), located in central Peru. This last discovery led to his recognition in the year 2000 as Prospector of the year in Peru, conferred by the Honorary Mining Merit Committee, composed of 15 members representing seven professional mining related organizations, including the National Society of Mining, Petroleum and Energy, the Geological Society of Peru and the Ministry of Energy and Mines. He was then responsible for the discovery of the gold-silver Shahuindo Mine, advancing the project to one of several million ounces in gold resources. This success led to the merger between Sulliden and Rio Alto, transforming Rio Alto into a mid-tier producer, which later merged with Tahoe Resources. The world-class open-pit Shahuindo Gold Mine is now owned and operated by Pan American Silver Corp. at a rate of approximately 135,000 ounces of gold per year, following its takeover of Tahoe Resources.
