JOHN MARMA BIOGRAPHY
Mr. Marma is a professional geologist with over 20 years of experience in mineral exploration, development and production, primarily focused in Nevada, Alaska and South Africa. He brings extensive technical and operational expertise across a wide range of deposit types, including epithermal vein systems, Carlin-type gold deposits, orogenic gold and gold porphyry systems.
Most recently, Mr. Marma served as President, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of White Pine Metals (WPM), a private mineral exploration company focused on advancing the Taylor Project in Nevada. In this role he led management and was instrumental in identifying and defining the different mineralization styles at the project. Prior to WPM, he was Director of Exploration and Geology – Nevada for Hecla Mining, where he was responsible for exploration strategy and geological mine support for all Nevada-based operations. Previously, he held senior exploration positions at Klondex Mines and Newmont, focusing on epithermal vein systems in the Northern Nevada Rift and Carlinian deposits.
Earlier in his career, Mr. Marma worked on orogenic gold systems in the Barberton District of South Africa, and on the Donlin Creek gold porphyry project in Alaska with Placer Dome. Notably, he was directly responsible for the discovery of the Eastern Veins and the Green Racer Sinter Vein at the Midas Mine, two important discoveries that significantly increased the understanding and value of Nevada’s Gold Circle district.
Mr. Marma holds a BS in Geosciences from North Dakota State University and an MS in Geology from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. He also received a Fulbright Scholarship and conducted advanced geological studies at the Karl Franzens University of Graz in Austria.
He is a registered professional geologist with the American Institute of Professional Geologists (AIPG #11709) and a long-time member of both the Society of Economic Geologists (SEG) and the Geological Society of Nevada (GSN).
