Chairman & Chief Executive Officer

Island Passage Exploration

Donald McInnes

Donald McInnes has been a natural resource developer for over 30 years.  He was the founder of Plutonic Power that built a portfolio of over $1 billion of hydro, wind and solar assets in Canada.  In mining, he has been at the forefront of working with indigenous communities to promote win win partnerships to facilitate modern mining with the highest IESG (Indigenous, Environmental, Sustainable and Governance) standards possible.

This has led to the building of a 100,000 ounce a year gold mine in Burkina Faso through True Gold Mining and recently the creation of Broden Mining that has partnered with the Ross River Nation to buy Faro, formerly the world’s largest open-pit silver lead zinc mine, out of bankruptcy.

Island Passage ("IPX") was founded as a bespoke solution to fund modern mineral exploration at Bougainville and again with customary landowners.  IPX is the first company to be undertaking comprehensive exploration on Bougainville outside of Panguna since 1972.
