Darren Nathan is general foreman of operations and maintenance for Raglan Mine – Concentrator. He started his career at Glencore in 2011 as a graduate of McGill University’s chemical engineering program. Since then, he has held various positions at Brunswick Mine and Raglan Mine.  

In the metallurgy team, Nathan led initiatives to optimize semi-autogenous grinding (SAG) mill liners performance, increasing filtration capacity, implementing mixed collectors to improve precious metals recovery, optimizing fluidized bed dryer performance and optimizing advanced control systems to improve floatation performance.  

Over the last 12 months, Nathan has worn several hats simultaneously as chief metallurgist, general foreman and project manager for the mill expansion project. While transitioning roles, Darren has continued to manage both his teams, while surpassing Raglan Mine’s business objectives and successfully delivering on the mill expansion project start-up and commissioning.
