Fasken

The powerhouse mining practice at Fasken remains a market leader, channelling the deep bench strength of locations in Toronto, Vancouver, Montreal and Quebec City, as well as offices overseas in London, Johannesburg and Beijing, to advise issuers, underwriters and major international mining companies (such as Barrick Gold, Glencore, BHP) involved in high-value, multi-jurisdictional transactions. The team is led in Toronto by M&A and project finance authority John Turner, who brings experience assisting resources companies active throughout Latin America, Africa and Eastern Europe, and Andrew Gabrielson in Vancouver, a specialist in transactions and commercial agreements related to the exploration, development, acquisition and divestiture of mining and energy projects. Brian Graves in Toronto manages complex take-over bids, plans of arrangement, public and private securities offerings and securities regulatory matters. Other key figures include Johanna Fipke in Vancouver, who provides expertise in M&A, land tenure, finance and project exploration, and Frank Mariage, who specializes in mineral exploration in Montreal.
