JOHANNESBURG (miningweekly.com) – TSX-listed mineral resource company Royal Nickel Corporation has appointed Christian Brousseau project director for its Dumont nickel project.

Reporting to the VP of operations, Brousseau will have overall responsibility for the execution plan, engineering and construction of Dumont, which is in the established Abitibi mining camp, in the municipalities of Launay and Trécesson, 25 km north-west of Amos, in Quebec.

Brousseau has over 20 years of engineering, design and construction experience in the Canadian mining industry, including over three years as the engineering and construction manager for gold mining company Detour Gold.

Prior to Detour, he held various construction management positions at Osisko's Malartic project, which is now owned by Agnico Eagle and Yamana, and at Goldcorp's Éléonore project.

Brousseau also spent eight years at Falconbridge supervising and managing various capital projects at Sudbury, Raglan, Kidd Creek and the Horne smelter.  

He is a licensed engineer in the Ordre des ingénieurs du Québec with a mechanical engineering degree from École Polytechnique de Montréal and an MBA from the Université du Québec en Abitibi-Témiscamingue.

"Christian is an important addition to the Royal Nickel team. His engineering and construction management expertise, particularly with his extensive experience in the Abitibi region, including at Detour and Malartic – two successful projects of similar scale to Dumont, will be an invaluable asset. I look forward to his contributions and leadership as we continue to advance the permitting and financing phases of the project and move toward construction," said Royal Nickel president and CEO Mark Selby in a statement on Monday.
