/CNW/ - Garibaldi Resources Corp. (TSXV: GGI) (the "Company" or
"Garibaldi") management is deeply sorrowed to inform shareholders of the sudden passing of
Everett Makela
, P.Geo., Director and VP Exploration-Canada, on
January 24, 2019
.
Everett is survived by his beloved wife Barbara, son and daughter Benjamin and Jane, his brother
Mark and his beloved parents Everett Sr. and Gabrielle.
With over 30 years of exploration experience, mostly with global nickel giant Inco/Vale, Everett
retired from Vale in 2012 as Principal Geologist-North America. He continued his passion for nickel
exploration as one of the most sought-after nickel consultants in
North America
. The
Sudbury
native
was instrumental in building Garibaldi's team of nickel industry experts, quickly leading to the Nickel
Mountain massive sulphide discovery in the heart of the Eskay Gold Camp in the summer of 2017.
Steve Regoci
, President and CEO, commented: "It is difficult to say farewell to a friend, an
exceptional geologist and an even better person. His dedication and leadership will be missed.
Everett was a larger than life character as colorful as they come and very well liked, particularly with
the young geologists and support personnel he helped guide in camp.
"Everett was a driving force in the discovery of the Golden Triangle's first magmatic nickel-copper-
rich massive sulphide system. That will be his legacy, plus the leadership he inspired in younger
geologists who will now carry on his good work.
"We look forward to building on the deposit he was so certain was there to be found. His memory
will live on forever at Nickel Mountain.
"We extend our deepest sympathies to Everett's family - our thoughts and prayers are with them at
this difficult time," Regoci concluded.
