Who is Peter Voldness and some of his ideas. In 1997 Analog founders Jim Culver and Andre St-Michel first collaborated on ECU Silver Mining Inc, a Toronto Stock Exchange Traded junior mining company focused on silver, gold, and base metals in Northern Mexico. Culver, then at hedge fund IIG, worked with St-Michel, then ECU CEO, to finance the project. The investment represented Culver’s first junior mining deal and required him to rely on St-Michel’s extensive mining and geology experience. ECU’s stock price, which was under $0.10, ended up trading above $2.70 USD, producing a well over 2,000% investor return, before being acquired by Golden Minerals Company in 2011.
Peter Voldness has structured and funded over 150 ventures and raised over $450 million dollars for start- up and development stage companies including life sciences, encompassing genotyping, gene editing, regenerative medicine, logistics for clinical trial support and medical devices. His background is corporate finance, capital formation, both private and public finance, acquisitions, both capital structure and balance sheet restructuring and operations. Mr. Voldness additionally has 30 years of complex trading market experience. He has consulted with and advised over 250 companies in his career, including the financing of two junior mining operations.
