Osisko Development (TSXV: ODV) released a rather long corporate update this morning, with the firm providing general updates on recent developments as a whole related to its projects. Most significantly however, it announced the departure of its chief financial officer, whom had only been in the role for three months.
Benoit Brunet, Vice President of Finance, CFO, and Corporate Secretary of the firm will be leaving the company, effective at the end of February 2021. The announcement comes just three months after he accepted the role with Osisko Development, and nearly a year after he joined Osisko Gold back in February 2020.
Brunet is reportedly leaving following his acceptance of a role at the Caisse de dépôt et placement du Québec. In the interim, he will assist in the transition of his replacement to the role of CFO. A replacement was not named.
