From 1968 to 1977, he worked in Mines Gaspé Copper à Murdochville, and from 1978 à 1983 in Mines Patino Quebec à Chibougamau. The coin was given by Barrick to its executives in 1988.

Technical
The coin commemorates opening of Holt-McDermott Mine on Aug. 8, 1988. The exploration at the site of the mine was first established by P.A. McDermott in 1922, when he discovered gold in the northwestern Holloway Township. The operations were limited and involved some trenching and drilling to evaluate prospects. In the late 1940s and early 1950s Sylvanite Gold drilled additional 11 holes along 76 meters of strike. In 1985 the first exploration shaft was developed by Barrick, which made a decision to exploit the mine in the late 1986. The operation began in Aug. 1988. The mine was purchased by Newmont in 2004 and by SAS in 2006. Cette pièce de monnaie commémorait l'ouverture de la mine Holt-McDermott le 8 août 1988. L'exploration de ce site de mine a premièrement été établi par P.A. McDermott en 1922, lorsqu'il a découvert l'or dans le canton au nord-ouest d'Holloway. Les opérations étaient limitées et impliquaient du creusement et forage pour évaluer les prospects. Vers la fin des années 1940s et début des années 1950s, Sylvanite Gold ont creusé 11 trous additionnels ainsi que 76 mètres. En 1985, le premier puit d'exploration a été développé par Barrick, qui a faite la décision d'exploiter la mine en fin 1986. L'opération à débuté en août 1988.
