Canivet's decades of experience in global capital markets is marked most notably by his role as head of business/investor development for the mining, technology, life sciences and global diversified industries at TMX Group, GoldHaven said. 

"As GoldHaven CEO, I will work diligently to ensure the company achieves the market valuation it deserves. With world-class assets in Newfoundland and British Columbia, along with an impressive footprint in the Maricunga gold belt of Chile, GoldHaven is ideally positioned to take advantage of rising gold prices in today's inflation-fuelled environment," he said. 

GoldHaven touted Canivet's network of investors, professional advisors and C-suite executives across various sectors, including mining and clean technology. 

"He has helped numerous companies navigate the capital markets, redesign their corporate strategies, build strong IPO-advisory teams and access growth capital through strategic investor introductions and varying ‘go-public' transactions," GoldHaven said. 

GoldHaven president David Smith said Canivet will be integral to the company's growth phase. 

"The company has some excellent mineral targets, the funding, and the management geared for success in the coming months and years," he said.

Canivet will replace Daniel Schieber as CEO.
