Who is Frank Giustra?
In mid 2007 an unusual threesome met in a Harlem office block to present a somewhat ambitious plan to fight poverty in Latin America. The novelty lay in using resources coming from the mining sector. Two of the three hosts needed no introduction: ex-president Bill Clinton and Mexican billionaire Carlos Slim. The third however made the attendees curious. Who is it? asked some, craning their necks, trying to make out the slightly built, well dressed man with close-cropped white hair, who was easily distinguishable from the strapping American and the chubby Mexican. The gentleman in question was Frank Giustra, a Canadian mining magnate who despite (or because of) his low profi le has been instrumental in multi-million dollar mining projects in Latin America.
