Philip Pascall
Philip Pascall passed peacefully on September 19, 2023, at his home in Perth, Western Australia. Pascal co-founded First Quantum Minerals Ltd. in 1996, serving as the chairman since its inception and CEO until 2022. Under his leadership, he instilled an entrepreneurial and bold culture that saw the company grow from a 10,000 mt/d tailings re-processor with the Bwana Mkubwa project in Zambia to one of the world’s largest copper producers with operations spanning five continents and employing more than 20,000 people globally. Among the many legacies he leaves behind, the greatest source of Philip’s pride were the many programs for the local communities in which First Quantum Minerals operates, bringing improved standards of health and education in often remote places.
