Founded in 2002 by John Robins and Jim Paterson, two respected entrepreneurs in the Canadian mining industry, Discovery Group has generated over $1 billion in equity raised resulting in over $2.6 billion in M&A activity, with the most recent success being the sale of Great Bear Resources Ltd. to Kinross Gold Corporation.
Today our member companies are collectively working on over twenty projects from grassroots exploration to mine development, globally. In the last few years our companies have raised in excess of $200 million in equity and continue to attract venture capital despite challenging markets.
“The foundation of our success has been built upon people, projects, and integrity.
We strive to identify world-class opportunities and attract the best technical and management talent to develop them.”
– John Robins, Co-Founder
