Biography

Joseph Ovsenek is a seasoned mining executive with over 20 years of international management and legal experience in the precious metals industry. As the founder, President, CEO, and Chairman of P2 Gold Inc. (TSXV: PGLD | OTCQB: PGLDF), Ovsenek has built a reputation for leading resource companies through the full development lifecycle—from early-stage exploration through to production. His deep understanding of both the legal and operational complexities of mining has made him a respected voice among institutional and retail investors in the gold sector.

Prior to founding P2 Gold, Ovsenek held senior leadership roles at several public resource companies, where he was responsible for building management teams, securing financing, and guiding strategic growth. His legal background provides a distinct advantage in navigating the regulatory and permitting landscapes that are critical to advancing mining projects, particularly in North America. Under his leadership, P2 Gold has assembled a portfolio of highly prospective gold and copper properties, with a flagship focus on the Gabbs Project in Nevada—a significant gold-copper porphyry system with a resource exceeding 3.5 million ounces of gold equivalent.

Ovsenek is a regular presenter at the Metals Investor Forum, where he engages directly with the resource investment community alongside notable analysts like John Kaiser of Kaiser Research Online. His presentations and interviews are closely followed by junior mining investors for their transparency regarding project milestones, metallurgical breakthroughs, and exploration upside. He frequently appears with P2 Gold's Chief Exploration Officer, Ken McNaughton, underscoring the company's technical rigor and commitment to geological excellence.

For commodity and mining investors, Ovsenek represents the archetype of the modern junior mining CEO: legally astute, operationally focused, and strategically minded. His track record of advancing projects in mining-friendly jurisdictions like Nevada makes P2 Gold a compelling name to watch in the gold and copper exploration space, particularly for investors seeking exposure to North American precious metals development stories.
