Toronto-based gold company Marathon Gold on Wednesday announced the appointment of Gil Lawson as COO, with effect from October 1, succeeding Tim Williams, who is returning to his native Australia for family reasons.

Lawson is an experienced mining professional, who most recently served as interim general manager at the Tasiast mine, in Mauritania, for Kinross Gold.

Prior to that, he was COO of TMAC Resources.

Lawson also held several senior technical and leadership roles at Placer Dome, De Beers Canada and Goldcorp, including the management of the Musslewhite, Campbell and Snap Lake mines.

Lawson will be based at Marathon’s project office in Grand Falls Windsor, Newfoundland and Labrador.

Concurrently, Marathon announced that Paolo Toscano had been promoted to the new role of senior VP for projects, engineering and construction.

“Gil brings to us extensive experience over a broad range of mining projects in Canada. Working closely with our existing projects team led by Paolo Toscano, he will be tasked with ensuring the efficient delivery of the Valentine gold project to first gold, and the development of a successful, Newfoundland-based mine management and operating team,” said president and CEO Matt Manson.

He also thanked Williams for his dedication in bringing the Valentine project from a conceptual mine design to a permitted and financed mine development project.
