Contributions and company outcomes
Valentine development and later first gold
2020–September 2025 · documented · medium materiality
Marathon appointed Williams COO in 2020 and announced a replacement effective 1 October 2023, while saying he would provide consulting support. Equinox reported Valentine’s first gold on 14 September 2025.
Attribution: Role overlaps event; causation unproven. Williams held the COO role during early project development; the reported first pour occurred after his replacement. The duration of subsequent consulting and his individual contribution to that milestone are unverified.
