Dec. 16
/CNW/ - Haywood Securities Inc., one of Canada's leading independent investment dealers, has further deepened its research coverage with the addition of Joe Mazumdar to its mining research team. Mazumdar will work out of Haywood's
Vancouver
office.
"Joe's appointment highlights Haywood's commitment to field a globally competitive and relevant team that rivals will find hard to match in terms of academic, technical and tenured experience," said
Rob Blanchard
, president of Haywood. "Joe's academic training, global experience in mining, where he has evaluated multi-billion dollar investment decisions, and his proven track record in the industry contributes significantly to our team of extremely talented analysts, ensuring Haywood's future in mining research as distinct."
Haywood's dedication to exhaustive coverage of the mining sector is evident from its pursuit of Joe as an addition to the team. Having spent the last four years in financial analysis, corporate development and strategic planning for gold producer Newmont, Mazumdar has sharpened his skills as a high-caliber analyst of the precious metals market. Mazumdar's previous experience in commodity market analysis and trading during his tenure at Phelps Dodge speak to his depth of knowledge of the commodity sector.
Mazumdar brings comprehensive knowledge of gold, copper and non-ferrous metal markets as well as 13 years working as a geologist internationally for companies such as Rio Tinto (
Argentina
), Mount
Isa Mines
(
Australia
), North (Chile/Peru/Argentina) and Noranda (
Canada
) and most recently for IAMGold in
Argentina
and
Ecuador
. As a product of his seven years in
South America
, Joe is bilingual in Spanish.
"Joe's decision to join us speaks to the strength and breadth of our mining franchise," said
David Lyall
, head of institutional sales at Haywood. "The tactical and strategic benefits of Joe's experience allow us to further provide clients with high-performance insight into investments."
Mazumdar graduated from the University of Alberta with a bachelor of science in geology and the
James Cook

Australia
with a master of science in exploration and mining. He most recently earned a MS in mineral economics from the
Colorado School of Mines
in 2003. He is a member of the AusIMM and various other mining industry organizations.
