Interview withLouis-Pierre Gignac, President & CEO of G Mining Ventures Corp.David Cataford, CEO of Champion Iron Ltd.Recording date: 30th May 2025In an industry plagued by cost overruns and schedule delays, two mining executives have demonstrated a blueprint for successful project development. Louis-Pierre Gignac of G Mining Ventures and David Cataford of Champion Iron recently shared insights from their track records of delivering projects on time and within budget, even during the challenging COVID-19 period.Both companies prioritize building strong internal teams over relying on external contractors. G Mining employs a "self-perform approach," maintaining in-house engineering, procurement, and execution capabilities to eliminate intermediary costs and maintain direct project control. Champion Iron works with multiple specialized engineering firms but requires rigorous personnel selection, including psychometric testing to ensure effective collaboration.The executives demonstrate conservative approaches to technology adoption, preferring proven equipment with established track records over innovative but unproven alternatives. "It has to be proven somewhere else. I'm not going to be the guinea pig of anything," Gignac explains. This philosophy extends to systematic evaluation of new equipment, with teams required to visit multiple operating sites before implementation.Project control relies on simple but comprehensive reporting systems that provide real-time visibility without overwhelming stakeholders. Both companies emphasize realistic initial estimates rather than optimistic projections designed to attract investment, recognizing that artificially low capital expenditure estimates often lead to execution failures.Strategic decisions around mining methods, infrastructure sizing, and power generation significantly impact project economics. The executives note that processing plants typically represent only 30% of total capital expenditure, with indirect costs and infrastructure accounting for substantial portions often underestimated in feasibility studies.During the COVID-19 pandemic, Champion Iron demonstrated exceptional adaptability by establishing an on-site testing facility, enabling continuous construction despite government lockdowns. This $2 million investment allowed completion of a $700 million project on schedule.The companies' success illustrates that systematic management approaches, transparent communication, and empowered teams can generate substantial returns in mining project development despite inherent industry risks.Sign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

In this episode I sat down with Anna Pakman, Margo Gignac and James Ian, the writer/director and stars of Emergency Plan, a new short film for the Easterseals Disability Film Challenge. Emergency Plan stars Margo and James as a disabled couple forced to send their young son out alone after a catastrophic East Coast earthquake — when it becomes clear no one is coming to help them evacuate. Ali Stroker voices the radio anchor whose warnings grow increasingly urgent as the crisis unfolds. We discuss the making of the film, the real-world inspiration and reason for telling this story, how systems fail disabled people during disasters and much more.Join The Patreon: Click HereWatch Emergency Plan: https://www.emergencyplanfilm.comFollow Anna: Instagram: @annatatedFollow Margo: Instagram: @margo_gignacFollow James: Instagram: @jamesianmusicThe Partnership For Inclusive Disaster Strategies: https://disasterstrategies.orgLearn More About The Easterseals Disability Film Challenge: Website: https://disabilityfilmchallenge.com YouTube: @TheDisabilityFilmChallengeInstagram: @disabilityfilmchallengeFollow Me: Instagram: @jill_ilana , @alwayslookingup.podcast TikTok: @jillian_ilana Website: https://www.jillianilana.com Email: alwayslookingup227@gmail.comRead With Me:GoodreadsThe StoryGraphRelief For Disabled People Impacted By The Los Angeles Fires:Richard Devylder Disaster Relief Fund: https://disabilitydisasteraccess.org/rd-relief-fund/United Spinal Disaster Relief Grant: https://unitedspinal.org/disaster-relief-grant/Inevitable Foundation Emergency Relief Fund: https://www.inevitable.foundation/erfThis episode was edited and produced by Ben Curwin
El Presidente Nayib Bukele aplicó un "Espejito, espejito" en Grok y así le respondieron... por su puesto el compañero Fernández Noroña lo celebró. El compañero Aniceto Polanco se metió en aprietos con la lengua y Gignac acepta con tibieza que le hubiera gustado vestir la playera Tricolor.

Welcome to Episode 25 of the HECHO Podcast, the podcast featuring the Coastal Bend's creators, makers, doers, and builders. If you've attended school in the Coastal Bend at any time over the past 40 years, it's entirely possible that our guest on this episode, or his father, designed your school. On this episode, we visit with Nick Gignac from Gignac Architects in Downtown Corpus Christi. Nick is a second-generation architect, born and raised here in Corpus but with experience from around the state and the world. His dad Raymond, started the firm about 40 years ago, and after growing up in and around the office, Nick joined Raymond and the team of architects, designers, and other professionals and has been designing public and private buildings and homes around the Coastal Bend and across the state. Some of their notable projects here in South Texas include the American Bank Center, Veterans Memorial High School, Carroll High School, and the to-be-built convention center on South Padre Island, and some 600 other schools here and around the state. I always envy those who get to leave their stamp on a community for 50 years like Nick discussed. What an honor! If you're curious about some of Gignac Architects' current projects here in the Coastal Bend, you can check out the new Fire and EMS station in Port Aransas, currently being built with Victory Building Team, the Education Service Center in downtown, being built with South Texas Building Partners, and Hamlin Middle School on Staples with PBK and Fulton Construction. Thank you, Nick, for coming on the show. Thank you to our infrastructure partners, Clint Tucker Homes and Sawyer Audiology. And thank you for taking time to listen!

Last week, los Incomparables visited the bottom of the league clubs Queretaro and Juarez, where a reality check was in store for Paunovic & co. Bottom side Queretaro tried to drag Tigres down with them by handing them their first loss of the season, in a very disappointing match for Tigres. A singular goal was enough to defeat Tigres, who had Gignac, Nahuel, and Antuna in their starting XI. Sunday night, things didn't improve by much as a singular goal from the CEO gave Tigres 3 points against Juarez, in yet another underwhelming match with no offensive creativity or defined style of play. While Tigres locked in the three points, many questions have arised regarding some individual performances as well as Paunovic's management of the squad. Let's discuss. -- Tune in to our recordings LIVE every week on Twitter/X and YouTube! We usually record on Monday or Tuesday night. Come hang and interact with us!

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: The Dunning-Kruger of disproving Dunning-Kruger, published by kromem on May 18, 2024 on LessWrong. In an online discussion elsewhere today someone linked this article which in turn linked the paper Gignac & Zajenkowski, The Dunning-Kruger effect is (mostly) a statistical artefact: Valid approaches to testing the hypothesis with individual differences data (PDF) (ironically hosted on @gwern's site). And I just don't understand what they were thinking. Let's look at their methodology real quick in section 2.2 (emphasis added): 2.2.1. Subjectively assessed intelligence Participants assessed their own intelligence on a scale ranging from 1 to 25 (see Zajenkowski, Stolarski, Maciantowicz, Malesza, & Witowska, 2016). Five groups of five columns were labelled as very low, low, average, high or very high, respectively (see Fig. S1). Participants' SAIQ was indexed with the marked column counting from the first to the left; thus, the scores ranged from 1 to 25. Prior to providing a response to the scale, the following instruction was presented: "People differ with respect to their intelligence and can have a low, average or high level. Using the following scale, please indicate where you can be placed compared to other people. Please mark an X in the appropriate box corresponding to your level of intelligence." In order to place the 25-point scale SAIQ scores onto a scale more comparable to a conventional IQ score (i.e., M = 100; SD = 15), we transformed the scores such that values of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5… 21, 22, 23, 24, 25 were recoded to 40, 45, 50, 55, 60… 140, 145, 150, 155, 160. As the transformation was entirely linear, the results derived from the raw scale SAI scores and the recoded scale SAI scores were the same. Any alarm bells yet? Let's look at how they measured actual results: 2.2.2. Objectively assessed intelligence Participants completed the Advanced Progressive Matrices (APM; Raven, Court, & Raven, 1994). The APM is a non-verbal intelligence test which consists of items that include a matrix of figural patterns with a missing piece. The goal is to discover the rules that govern the matrix and to apply them to the response options. The APM is considered to be less affected by culture and/or education (Raven et al., 1994). It is known as good, but not perfect, indicator of general intellectual functioning (Carroll, 1993; Gignac, 2015). We used the age-based norms published in Raven et al. (1994, p. 55) to convert the raw APM scores into percentile scores. We then converted the percentile scores into z-scores with the IDF.NORMAL function in SPSS. Then, we converted the z-scores into IQ scores by multiplying them by 15 and adding 100. Although the norms were relatively old, we considered them essentially valid, given evidence that the Flynn effect had slowed down considerably by 1980 to 1990 and may have even reversed to a small degree since the early 1990s (Woodley of Menie et al., 2018). An example of the self-assessment scoring question was in the supplemental materials of the paper. I couldn't access it behind a paywall, but the paper they reference does include a great example of the scoring sheet in its appendix which I'm including here: So we have what appears to be a linear self-assessment scale broken into 25 segments. If I were a participant filling this out, knowing how I've consistently performed on standardized tests around the 96-98th percentile, I'd have personally selected the top segment, which looks like it corresponds to the self-assessment of being in the top 4% of test takers. Behind the scenes they would then have proceeded to take that assessment and scale it to an IQ score of 160, at the 99.99th percentile (no, I don't think that highly of myself). Even if I had been conservative with my self assessment and gone with what looks like the 92-96th pe...

Interview with Louis-Pierre Gignac, President & CEO of G Mining Ventures.Our previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/g-mining-ventures-tsxgmin-producing-gold-by-year-end-4938Recording date: 23rd April 2024G Mining Ventures, led by President and CEO Louis-Pierre Gignac, has announced a merger with Reunion Gold to acquire the Oko West project in Guyana. This strategic move aligns with G Mining's goal of becoming an intermediate gold producer, targeting an annual production of 500,000 ounces.The Tocantinzinho mine, currently under construction by G Mining, is 89% complete and expected to start producing gold within the next three months. With an average annual production of 175,000 ounces, Tocantinzinho is projected to generate over $200 million in cash flow per year. The merger with Reunion Gold will enable G Mining to redeploy this cash flow towards the development of Oko West, minimizing shareholder dilution.Gignac and his team have conducted extensive due diligence on the Oko West project, including site visits and meetings with the President of Guyana. The Guyanese government has expressed strong support for the mining industry and the swift development of Oko West. G Mining's management expertise, coupled with the financial backing of major shareholders La Mancha and Franco, who have committed $25 million each to support early works, positions the company well to advance the project rapidly.Despite concerns about the "Venezuela factor" and a longstanding boundary dispute, G Mining remains confident in the stability of Guyana's mining sector. The dispute is expected to be resolved through international courts, with support from key players such as Brazil, the United States, and European nations.The merger between G Mining and Reunion Gold is expected to close in the beginning of the third quarter, following a shareholder vote. As part of the transaction, a spin-off company will be created to hold Reunion's exploration assets in French Guiana and Suriname, with G Mining retaining a 19.9% stake and the option to maintain its pro-rata share in future funding rounds.Gignac sees potential for the Oko West project to produce 200,000 ounces of gold annually, with a combination of open-pit and underground mining. The company plans to refine the trade-offs between the two mining methods and optimize the timing of underground development. The high-grade underground resource, with an average grade of 3 grams per tonne, is expected to complement the open-pit operation and create significant value.G Mining's institutional shareholders have responded positively to the merger announcement, recognizing the strategic fit and the company's ability to leverage its expertise and systems in developing the Oko West project.
