Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - July 27, 2026) - Apollo Nora Advisors Ltd. ("Apollo" or the "Company"), an independent, Toronto-based investor relations and capital markets advisory firm, today announced the appointment of Jean-Pierre Colin as Vice Chairman, effective immediately.
Mr. Colin is a 45-year veteran of the securities industry and one of Canada's most recognized names in mining finance and M&A. He has acted as Corporate Secretary and CFO for listed companies, served on numerous public-company boards, managed billions of dollars in mining funds, and advised mining companies through every stage of their growth cycle. He pioneered financial structures still in use today, including government-assisted investments such as flow through shares, and led Mid-Cap Equity corporate finance and M&A desks across the Canadian securities industry. A former member of the Quebec Bar (retired), he has advised regulators on securities legislation, including takeover-bid legislation and Mining NI 43-101 disclosure standards.
What Mr. Colin's Arrival Means for Apollo Clients
Mr. Colin's appointment and track record accelerates Apollo's full-platform push into public and private markets, with a focus on the global mining sector and Quebec-based issuers.
- Proxy solicitation & governance: Sharper AGM proxy campaigns and governance advice that better align director and management responsibilities with institutional and retail shareholder expectations.
- Contested situations: Aggressive proxy solicitations in battles for control and changes of control, debt restructurings, amalgamations, plans of arrangement, and negotiated and hostile takeover bids.
- Investor relations: Proven international IR and effective media strategies that lift the public profiles of issuers with the investors who matter most.
- Independent research & valuations: In-depth, independent coverage and company valuations supported with more insightful commentary and solid due diligence that win institutional and retail investor attention.
"Apollo is one of the most forward-thinking advisory firms in the Canadian market, and I am delighted to help Jonathan Pinto and his team extend its reach across investor relations, governance, and proxy, while opening the firm to new Quebec-based clients and leveraging a career-long track record of advising premier mining successes. This represents a compelling growth trajectory that aligns perfectly with my professional focus."
