Moneta Porcupine Mines - short snippet - Moneta Au Real Highest Grade Gold Money -

Moneta Porcupine Mines past President John Larche -




Larche was the recipient of the highest honour that can be
bestowed on a Canadian civilian when he was awarded
the Order of Canada on May 3, 2003.

John Larche was certainly an icon for this community, in mining
and the early 1980s, Larche gained international fame in
the mining industry alongside fellow prospector and
long-time business partner Don McKinnon —

The two of them made the gold discovery that led to the operation
of the trio of Hemlo Mines near Marathon, Ont.

Hemlo also went on to become one of the most prolific mines in Canada.

This monumentous discovery of Hemlo did not go unnoticed.
In 1983 Larche received the Prospector of the Year Award and
was also given the same honour by the Northern Miner in 1987.

Larche served as vice-president and then preside of
the Prospectors Association of Canada from 1984-1988.

Through this platform, he became the country’s
top spokesman in exploration.

Larche was more than just an advocate for his brothers and
sisters in the mining industry, he was a humanitarian,
a driving force behind quality health care
for the people of Timmins.

For more than 20 years he volunteered his time to strengthen
the health-care hub of Northeastern Ontario.

He donated millions of dollars during those years
for the betterment of TDH.
