David Brace, CEO and Director, GlobeStar Mining Corp.
After graduating with a degree in geology from the University of Toronto in 1975, David Brace worked as an underground geologist in the Northwest Territories and British Columbia. From 1980 to 1986 he was employed by Cominco as a financial analyst in the treasury department, working on the formation of Highland Valley Copper (Canada’s largest copper mine).
David pursued his MBA at Sauder on a part-time basis from 1980 to 1985 then from 1987 to 1994 worked as Manager of Business Development at Canada Tungsten Mining in Vancouver. Cantung was taken over by Aur Resources in 1995 prompting him to move to Santiago Chile as General Manager of Aur’s first copper mine there. David remained in Santiago until 2004 as the President of Aur’s South America Division and then returned to Toronto as Executive Vice President Business Development at Aur. When Aur was acquired by Teck in 2007, David and his wife Louise took a 14-month personal leave of absence. In 2008 he was appointed CEO and Director of GlobeStar Mining Corporation.
Having lived in an advanced but still developing country in South America, David appreciates being back in Canada. He enjoys Toronto but describes is as “rather small” relative to South American cities. He and his wife enjoy dancing, boating, tennis, golf and travelling.
David’s advice to recent graduates is to look for work that you really enjoy. “Chances are you will work in that field for a long time and switching careers later in life isn’t easy.”
