Minera’s Acquisition of Gold Producing Nevada Complex

Jason Kosec brings nearly 15 years of experience in all aspects of mineral exploration, mine development, investor relations, and capital markets. He completed his undergraduate degree in Geology, specializing in Structural Geology, at Western University and earned a Master's in Earth and Energy Resources from Queen’s University. Prior to completing his undergraduate degree, Jason was drafted by the Edmonton Eskimos. Mr. Kosec began his career as a Project Geologist at Trelawney Mining and Exploration, which was sold to IAMGOLD for C$608 million in 2012. During his time there, he played a crucial role in the Côté Gold discovery, managing exploration and infill programs while developing the geological and resource models. Afterward, Mr. Kosec joined IAMGOLD, where he worked as an Exploration Geologist, managing multiple drill programs and technical studies. In early 2015, he was recruited by Barkerville Gold Mines as Senior Geologist and appointed Chief Mine Geologist in 2016. During his tenure, he developed the kinematic model that unlocked the structural understanding of the Cariboo deposit. In early 2017, Jason, along with partners at Talisker Exploration Services, built the geological model for the Windfall deposit, leading to the Lynx discovery. In late 2017, Mr. Kosec took on the role of VP Corporate Development, which contributed to the sale of Barkerville Gold Mines to Osisko Gold Royalties in 2019 for C$338 million. Most recently, Jason founded Millennial Precious Metals, growing it from an exploration company with no resource to one with a 10-million-ounce resource and 80,000 ounces of annual production within four years through multiple M&A transactions which lead to the creation of the new Integra as Jr. producer. Over the course of his career, Jason has successfully raised over $500 million for both public and private companies.
