Archival corporate website (circa 1996)

Corporate profile — Vancouver explorer, Argentine projects, Kalimantan stake

This archive restores the mid-1990s Pacific Rim Mining Corp. public website for researchers, former investors, and students of junior mining history. It is not a live issuer portal and not a call to trade securities. The useful core of the original site remains: who ran the company, where the projects sat, and how Barrick-related work on Diablillos was described at the time.

Directors & officers (as published)

  • Druval W. Westcott — Chairman
  • Gerald B. Phillips, C.A. — President & CEO
  • Douglas R. Ward; Arnold G. Poetker — Directors
  • Robin D. A. Blues, LL.B. — Corporate Secretary

Why this archive still helps

Modern search results conflate later corporate chapters (including mergers and other projects) with the 1996 PFG web record. Keeping the period structure intact—Summary, News, Diablillos, La Colorada, Indonesia—lets readers see what the company itself emphasized then: epithermal gold-silver at Diablillos with Barrick exploration momentum, a large VMS-style La Colorada land package, and a Kalimantan claim near known gold belts.

Project maps on this restoration are labeled schematic reconstructions because the original GIF/JPEG binaries were not preserved in the Internet Archive. Narrative pages and news headlines were recovered or carefully reconstructed from retained index text.
