Rob McEwen appointed to the Order of Canada
This year marks an important anniversary for the Order of Canada. It was created on July 1, 1967, and has since become the centrepiece of our country's System of Honours. It is administered by the Governor General with the assistance of an advisory council and is granted to Canadian citizens for outstanding achievement and service to the country or to humanity at large.
Both US Gold and Lexam's Board of Directors, together with the employees at each company wish to congratulate Rob on this tremendous honour. Rob is the founder and former Chairman and CEO of Goldcorp Inc, a company which he grew from a $50 million market capitalization in 1992 to over $8 billion market by 2005. During that period the shares of Goldcorp achieved an annual compounded growth rate of over 31%. Rob is also the benefactor of the McEwen Centre of Regenerative Medicine at the Toronto General Hospital where he has invested over $20 million dollars to advance medical research into commercial applications.
