SUMMARY
I am an experienced geologist with a strong interest in and experience with a wide variety of metal deposits. I have worked on a number of base and precious metal properties and deposits both in Canada and internationally. For the past two years I have been employed with APEX Geoscience as a Project Geologist which has allowed me to learn about a number of widely diversified deposits and prospects including epithermal base/precious metal, Archean orogenic gold, porphyry copper, volcanic hosted uranium and diamondiferous kimberlite. My time with APEX has also allowed me to acquire a large and varied geology-related skill set including project management, drill supervision, above and underground mapping, ground geophysics, soil/stream/kimberlite sampling and Technical Report writing.
EXPERIENCE
International
Wealth Minerals, Salta region, Argentina (2007) Trench mapping, sampling and regional prospecting at a volcanic-hosted uranium property. This project included the submittal of a report detailing the geology of the immediate area and results from regional prospecting.
Lund Gold, Carneirinho, Brazil (2007) Property and showing scale mapping at and around an intrusion-hosted gold deposit. Project involved the submission of a report and map detailing the geology of the property.
Greenshield Resources, Cuenca, Ecuador (2007) Property scale mapping of Plinean volcanics and continental fluivial rocks including an economic assessment of the property. This project included the submittal of a report and map detailing the geology of the area.
