Catherine McLeod-Seltzer Inducted into Explorers' League
Catherine McLeod-Seltzer, a recognized leader in the minerals industry, is the Chairman of Pacific Rim Mining, Bear Creek Mining, and Stornoway Diamonds.
After spending the early years of her career working in mining Corporate Finance, both in North America and internationally, Catherine went on to co-found Arequipa Resources in 1993 with renowned mine finder J. David Lowell. Three years later, having discovered the Pierina gold deposit in Peru, Arequipa was taken over by Barrick for $1.1 billion, one of the most lucrative mining industry buyouts in the last decade. In 2003, Catherine and David joined forces once again to form Peru Copper Inc. to acquire the Toromocho Copper deposit. Three years after taking Peru Copper public, it was acquired by Chinalco for $840 million.
