SUMMARY
I am an experienced and versatile geologist with a strong interest in and knowledge of a wide variety of metal deposits. During my career I have worked on a number of base and precious metal properties & deposits both in Canada and internationally. While most of my experience is in Archean gold, I have also worked on epithermal base & precious metal, porphyry copper, volcanic hosted massive sulphide, ultramafic hosted Cu-Ni, volcanic hosted uranium and diamondiferous kimberlite deposits. Through my profession I have acquired a large and varied geology-related skill set including project management & planning, above & underground mapping at all scales, Technical (43-101) & assessment report writing, GIS compilation & management, drill supervision & logging, and QA/QC implementation. Additional details of my work history can be found on my website at: http://www.geologistforhire.com.
