Pierre Lassonde, Chairman, Franco-Nevada Corporation

Canadian Mining Hall of Fame Inductee

Pierre Lassonde has long believed that a nation’s natural resources are not its commodities, but its people.

He launched Franco-Nevada Mining in 1982, after teaming up with Seymour Schulich. In 2008, Lassonde, along with David Harquail and the Franco team who had followed him at Newmont, acquired Newmont’s royalty portfolio and revived Franco-Nevada as the largest gold royalty company on the Toronto Stock Exchange. The $1.2 Billion IPO was, at the time, the largest mining IPO ever offered on the TSE. Mr. Lassonde has received many awards, including Mining Man of the Year (1997) and Developer of the Year (1999) with Seymour Schulich, the Inco Medal (2001), several honorary doctorates in Canada and the USA, and the Order of Canada in 2002.
