JOHANNESBURG (miningweekly.com) – Former Barrick Gold CEO Jamie Sokalsky has been appointed director and chairperson designate of TSX-V-listed Probe Mines.

He would join the board immediately, but would only take up the position of chairperson when current chairperson Patrick Reid retired on October 29.

Sokalsky brings to Probe over 20 years of experience as a senior executive in the mining industry, including in finance, corporate strategy, project development and operations.

He served as president and CEO of Barrick from June 2012 to September 2014 and CFO of Barrick from 1999 to 2012, prior to which he worked in various other senior finance roles.

He holds an Honours Bachelor of Commerce degree from Lakehead University and received his Chartered Accountant designation in 1982.

“We are excited about the opportunity to work with Jamie. His knowledge, experience and skill will greatly assist Probe as it advances the exploration and development of the Borden Gold project. On behalf of the board of directors and management, I welcome Jamie to our team,” Probe president and CEO David Palmer commented.
