Dale Hoffman, president and chief executive officer of Vancouver-based JNR Resources, United Carina and Pine Channel Gold, has died. He was 60.
Hoffman was born in December 1940 in North Battleford, Sask. He began his career working for Eldorado Nuclear in Uranium City, Sask., in the early 1960s. This led to his involvement in prospecting and mineral exploration.
Most of his exploration efforts were in northern Saskatchewan, where he employed many members of First Nations bands.
In 1987 he incorporated Pine Channel Gold, and in 1995 he was named president of JNR resources. Two years later he became president of United Carina. His career in mining spanned 33 years.
Hoffman is survived by his wife, Beverley, four children and five grandchildren.
