Mark Trevisiol
Chairman & CEO | McFarlane Lake Mining | Gold Project Developer
"Leading McFarlane Lake Mining and its Juby Gold Project with backing from prominent resource investors"
Biography
Mark Trevisiol is the Chairman and CEO of McFarlane Lake Mining (CSE: MLM), a Canadian junior gold company advancing the Juby Gold Project in Ontario. For resource investors, he matters as an operating executive who has attracted backing from established mining investors, including Michael Gentile, one of Canada's most recognized resource investors.
Trevisiol's visibility increased in 2024–2025 when McFarlane Lake secured a series of investments led by Michael Gentile, totaling roughly CAD $6.75 million. Gentile's participation — alongside Pierre Beaudoin — brought both capital and a vote of confidence from investors with a track record of identifying value in junior miners. The funds are directed toward exploration and development at the Juby project, an advanced-stage gold exploration property in the prolific Abitibi Greenstone Belt.
Under Trevisiol's leadership, McFarlane Lake is working to advance Juby through systematic exploration and resource definition. The project sits in a proven mining jurisdiction with existing infrastructure, which matters for investors evaluating permitting risk and future capital costs. Trevisiol's approach emphasizes strengthening the company's balance sheet through strategic private placements while using those funds to expand the resource base.
Investors following Trevisiol should watch McFarlane Lake's exploration results from Juby, particularly drill programs aimed at expanding the known resource. His ability to attract institutional and strategic capital — evidenced by Gentile's repeated investments — signals that experienced resource investors see upside in the project. The company's progress in defining and growing the Juby deposit will be the key metric for evaluating Trevisiol's execution.

McFarlane Lake Mining CEO And Largest Shareholder Discuss Latest Corporate News.
- Top takeaway Mark Trevisiol presented the 6.2-million-ounce Juby update as a 'fantastic result' — about a 50% jump from October 2025's 4.2 million ounces using only 13,000m of drilling.
- He laid out the path to 10 million ounces via another 50,000-70,000m of drilling and pointed to a 6.6-million-ounce sensitivity at $4,600/oz gold.
- He defended the I-Metals stake as both a geological-trend play and added land optionality for siting pits, tailings facilities and a future mill.
- He explained the hanging wall discovery: mineralization previously written off as a stripping cost in the open-pit walls is now payable ore, with the extent of the new zone still untested.
McFarlane Lake's Juby project grew to 6.2M oz inferred+indicated, a 50% jump from 4.2M oz with only 13,000m of drilling. The CEO projects another 3-4M oz on the way to a 10M oz target with 50,000-70,000m of additional drilling. Hanging wall drilling at the Juby deposit is hitting mineralization previously classified as waste, which could improve the strip ratio. Largest shareholder Gentile argues the US Treasury's bigger bond intervention signals yield curve control — bullish for gold. McFarlane trades at $25-27 per ounce in the ground versus $70-80 per ounce for peers like Probe Gold and Banyan Gold.
Adding a Million Ounces of Gold is “Well Within Reach” for McFarlane Lake Mining
- Top takeaway Trevisiol argues the goal of adding one million ounces of gold at Juby is "well within reach" given the drilling results seen so far.
- He frames the Gentile-led $6.75 million financing as the spark needed to solve the debt situation that had concerned investors, citing the stock's rise from 14 cents on announcement day to 26 cents as of the interview.
- He maintains the Juby property is capable of holding ten million ounces of gold and views the updated MRE as a step toward that target and toward building credibility in both the property and management.
- He argues the on-strike and at-depth continuity seen at Golden Lake bodes well for additional drilling to push the resource even deeper.
- His stated roadmap: release the updated MRE by the end of June 2026, keep drilling, then move into a scoping study and a bulk sample program planned for 2027.
CEO Mark Trevisiol credits a $6.75 million placement led by Michael Gentile with lifting the stock from 14 to 26 cents and easing debt concerns. About 11,000 meters drilled at Golden Lake and the 826 zone should add to the upcoming MRE (Mineral Resource Estimate) due end of June. Trevisiol argues adding one million ounces is well within reach, with drilling showing continuity on strike and at depth at Golden Lake. Strike and depth continuity — mineralization spanning a property's length and depth — is what miners look for before committing to build a mine. Next value drivers per management: the updated MRE, a scoping study, and a bulk sample program planned for 2027.
