A chartered accountant with a Bachelor of Commerce degree, Marcel de Groot is a quiet force, a highly intelligent man who works very hard and is earning his just rewards. On a side note, we put Marcel up there with one of the better poker players in the resource sector. We spent some time with him in Las Vegas and can say first hand that he follows the mantra “Fortune favors the bold.” We will keep an eye on Marcel’s activities, because he has that sought-after golden touch.
