First Nordic Hires Veteran Geologist Gernot Wober as New VP of Exploration

Mr. Wober is a highly accomplished geologist with 35 years of international experience in mineral exploration and project development. He brings deep technical expertise in orogenic gold systems and greenstone-hosted deposits, with a proven track record of discovery, resource growth, and team leadership across multiple jurisdictions.

Most recently, Mr. Wober served as Vice President, Exploration at Discovery Silver Corp. (“Discovery”) for over seven years. During his tenure, he played a key role in identifying and acquiring the Cordero silver deposit in Chihuahua, Mexico, which was advanced from resource stage through feasibility and towards final permitting to become one of the largest undeveloped silver projects globally.

He also played an important part in the due diligence and compilation of the first consolidated technical report for Discovery’s acquisition of Newmont Corporation’s Porcupine Complex, a transaction that marked Discovery’s transition into a gold producer and resulted in its growth to a + C$2 billion market capitalization.

Prior to Discovery, Mr. Wober was VP Exploration, Canada, at Osisko Mining Inc., where he led exploration activities at the Windfall gold project and was instrumental in the discovery of the high-grade Lynx Zone. His earlier roles include VP Exploration at Great Basin Gold, Director of Site Operations at the Pebble Project in Alaska for Northern Dynasty Mines Inc., VP Exploration for Oban Mining Corp., and technical positions with Lac Minerals Ltd., Noranda Exploration Company Ltd., Taseko Mines Ltd., and Chevron Canada Resources Ltd.

Mr. Wober previously served on the advisory board of Gold Line Resources Ltd., one of the predecessor companies that formed First Nordic. His familiarity with the Gold Line belt will be directly applied as he steps into this new leadership role, overseeing all of First Nordic’s exploration and development activities.
