THESIS GOLD INC.
Geologists believe the gold and silver deposits visible at surface level may be the upper reach of a deeper porphyry system – a type of large-scale mineral deposit typically found at greater depth, characterised by high concentrations of gold, silver and base metals like copper.
As such, the proposed development could wind up being even larger than Thesis had ever anticipated.
The man leading Thesis’ sustainability charge As is often the case in the world of mining, the team at Thesis has been established years before shovels will ever hit the earth. Stephen Crozier joined Thesis Gold & Silver late last year to head up sustainability and external affairs. His remit spans Indigenous engagement and partnerships, government relations, environment, and permitting.
Advancing work in each of these areas will be critical to the success of Lawyers-Ranch. At the end of the day, it will determine whether the proposed project is able to proceed. More importantly, though, this work, done well, will ensure that the benefits are shared fairly and equitably.
Stephen came to the role with two decades of experience in the industry, including a long stint at IAMGOLD, where he was directly involved in advancing the Côté Gold project. More recently, he was at Wyloo, a private company developing a critical minerals project in Ontario’ s so-called“ Ring of Fire”.
“ We’ re not here for a high-five on you thinking we’ re responsible, we want to prove we’ re safe by executing”

Stephen’ s career took a route that few in the industry share. He moved from law into government relations and then eventually into sustainability, not by design but through successive expansions of his responsibilities, driven equally by opportunity and organisational changes. Having such a broad set of skills has made Stephen a staunch believer in the value of being a“ jack of all trades”.
In fact, that kind of generalist approach to learning and working has made him the perfect person for the role he now occupies.“ Law school was a tremendous experience,” he reflects.“ I greatly appreciated my time there. But over time, I have also learned that one thing they don’ t teach you in any specialised discipline is the limits of the discipline – and the extent to which your specialised way of doing things, which works very well in certain contexts, may be suboptimal in others.”
