Ah, it's nice to see you To Tim and people originally from South Porcupine. Yep. My dad was a high school teacher who taught me. Yeah, absolutely So give him my best. I certainly will a lot of family connections. Yep, and you By way of detour ultimately wound up at Kirkland Lake. Tell us about that story So it's a long story, but I'll try and make it short. I grew up in Timmons Right. My father was a prospector and he acquired all the land around the detour like mine at the first discovery Roughly what years would have this been? In the early 70s. Okay, and Eventually he started a company and he passed away, and I was no longer a Corporate lawyer. I was suddenly the CEO of a junior mining company, bling-bling So I wasn't sure how that happened, right? I wouldn't go back You know, I'm a lawyer by training and it was great training, but it's not the same as exploring for gold So in 1998 bottom of the market last last time 300 bucks an ounce. Yep We saw an opportunity to buy the detour lake mine and all the land around it, right? For less than a buck an ounce in the ground. They had a one and one point four million ounce resource We bought it for a million bucks with no money But we got Franco Navarra to be our joint venture partner to do it Absolutely absolutely and as it got to a you know We sort of re-envisioned it as a big pit and as it got to be a development story We found the right teams you're all penitent right the Hunter Dickinson group We spun out detour the detour project into detour gold They built it into The behemoth it is now world world renown. We're and you know low-grade admittedly, but huge right and these kind of Prices I was going to make money like you wouldn't believe Kirkland Lake has just done the acquisition and I'm really honored the Tony who I also went to high school with another Timon's guy Asked me to join the board with my history and detour, so I'm really looking forward to starting that That's a great adventure because you came out of expiration and now to be on the production side of business a Different way of thinking. Oh my god and watching that be built was you know No university education could give you that to just watch it be a hole in the core shock Not even a hole in the ground and into that you know great big Mill complex it was unbelievable You know one of the joys of the mining show is running into people and while you were here You ran into Steve Kahnapelki who flew your first core out back in 19, whatever.
