Panneton on how Prophecy’s Gibellini Project will be the first official primary vanadium mine in the U.S.
“The Gibellini Project is an excellent low-capital vanadium project that can be developed in Nevada in the U.S. There are no political risks. The feasibility study is completed. There is no red flag in the processing. It is a very solid project. That is what people saw while writing the checks.” States Gerald Panneton, President and CEO of Prophecy Development Corp. (TSX: PCY | OTCQX: PRPCF), in an interview with InvestorIntel Corp. CEO Tracy Weslosky.
Tracy Weslosky: Allow me to start by congratulating you Gerald. You are brand new to the team. You have got a formidable career in the resource industry. I would just like to welcome you as the new CEO for Prophecy.
Gerald Panneton: Yes, October 10th was my first day on the job.
Tracy Weslosky: Gerald we noticed that you attracted some institutional investors in this last round of financing, which is highly applaudable in these current markets, especially for a project your size. Can you tell me what it is that drew them in?
Gerald Panneton: The Gibellini Project is an excellent low-capital project that can be developed in Nevada in the U.S. There are no political risks. The feasibility study is completed. There is no red flag in the processing. It is a very solid project. That is what people saw while writing the checks.
Tracy Weslosky: There has been a constant news flow since you joined the team. Recently you also attracted Ron Espell as VP Environmental and Sustainability to your management team. Can you tell us a little bit more about your management team overall?
Gerald Panneton: When you bring a project into production and you want to do it efficiently and very well you bring expertise. Johnny brought me as CEO to develop the project because that will be my fourth mine that I put together during my career. You build mines and you build projects like this with a team. Ron Espell is the guy that has all the experience permitting projects in Nevada.
Tracy Weslosky: Of course those of us interested at InvestorIntel in issues of sustainability, the Gibellini Project that Prophecy has is one of the first to primarily produce vanadium in North America. Can you tell us a little bit more about the Gibellini Project please?
