It is with the deepest sadness that we announce the passing of David Horgan. David was a cofounder and director of Botswana Diamonds Plc, cofounder and chairman of Petrel Resources Plc, cofounder and chairman of Clontarf Energy Plc, and founder chairman of Greenore Gold Plc.
John Teeling and Jim Finn, in a joint comment, "The death of David Horgan is a deep personal loss to each of us. In over three decades together we have created, financed, managed and listed a series of early-stage exploration ventures in a variety of natural resources. He revelled in high stakes, high risk resources exploration. He was fearless travelling in dangerous territories, traipsing across swamps or exploring long abandoned mines. He spoke eight languages. After ten days or so in a new country could converse with locals in their own language and actively participate in local culture and traditions.
