Investment dealer Haywood Securities Inc. has picked Chantal Gosselin to join its research team as a senior mining analyst. Gosselin will work out of Haywood’s Toronto office.

“We are extremely pleased to expand our team through the addition of Chantal Gosselin. She is recognized as a rising star throughout the investment industry,” said Rob Blanchard, president of Haywood Securities, in a news release. “Mining is central to Haywood’s business and augmenting the mining research division will allow us to continue providing unparalleled investment analysis and advice to our growing customer base. While our strategy remains to grow our business in rapidly expanding industries, such as biotechnology and technology, we remain committed to supporting our core strengths.”

Gosselin joins Haywood from a national investment dealer. “Our clients recognize and appreciate Chantal’s value-add research, which is drawn from her hands-on mining experience, equity knowledge and objectivity,” said Rob Goff, head of research at Haywood. “She brings a clear passion for research to our team.”

Prior to moving to the capital markets, Gosselin spent over nine years as a mining engineer working for a number of leading mining companies including Aur Resources, Pan American Silver Corp. and Black Hawk Mining Inc.

Gosselin is trilingual — fluent in French, English and Spanish — and holds an engineering degree from Université Laval and an MBA from Concordia University.
