Before Westhaven, Falcon Gold said Dias worked as a consulting geologist for Ximen Resoures on its multi-metallic Treasure Mountain deposit, exploration manager for Avant and Gdgeo, leading projects in world-class deposits such as ArcelorMittal’s Andrade mine, Samarco’s Germano mine, and Magnesita SA’s Serra das Eguas project, all located in Brazil.
Falcon said Dias’s knowledge and experience in precious and base metal projects on high-grade epithermal low sulfidation including porphyry copper-gold geology will add value as it restarts operations at both the Spitfire-Sunny Boy and Gaspard projects in BC, as well as at its South America projects.

Falcon’s flagship project, the Central Canada Gold Mine, is approximately 20 kilometres southeast of Agnico Eagle’s Hammond Reef Gold Deposit which has currently estimated 3.32 million ounces of gold (123.5 million tonnes grading 0.84 grams per tonne (g/t) gold) mineral reserves, and 2.3 million ounces of measured and indicated mineral resources (133.4 million tonnes grading 0.54 g/t gold).
