In Memoriam
 |
Chris Pegg was a key player in Pelangio's initial exploration of the Obuasi Property, from its acquisition in 2006 until January 2010 when, tragically, he passed away in his sleep at the far too young age of 54. Chris had over 30 years of international experience specializing in Pre-Cambrian gold deposits and had been working in Africa since 1992. He spent 17 years of his career with Lac Minerals and was awarded an NSR royalty in the Williams gold mine for his work leading to its discovery.
His love of geology was evident to all who met him, and he held a special place in his heart for Ghana. He will be missed by his family and his friends in Canada, Ghana and everywhere else there are interesting rocks to be found. Contact Pelangio for information on donating to a charitable trust for the education of Ghanaian youth in Chris' memory. |
