Brigus is pleased to announce that Daniel Racine has been promoted to President and Chief Operating Officer of the Company effective January 1, 2013.

"I am delighted that Daniel has accepted the role of President of Brigus," said Wade Dawe, Chairman and CEO of Brigus Gold. "Daniel has an excellent reputation in the industry, he has demonstrated strong leadership and operational abilities as our Chief Operating Officer and I am confident that he will excel in his new role."
Along with this change, the Investor Relations and Human Resources functions will transition from the Halifax office to the Company's office in Toronto.
