I am an Australian geologist with over 40 years diversified experience in the mining industry, including exploration, project development and operations. Mineral Exploration continues to be my passion. I have been a member of teams that made gold discoveries in Papua New Guinea, Western Australia, Suriname, Nunavut and Yukon, Canada. I established Underworld Resources in 2006, a TSX listing, that was acquired by Kinross Gold for $130 million. I was a founding Director of Northern Empire Resources which was acquired by Coeur Mining in 2018 for $117 million. I am a Director of three TSX.V listed companies; Reunion Gold, StrikePoint Gold and Precipitate Gold which are working in the gold exploration space. The location of their activities includes, Guyana, Nevada, British Columbia and the Democratic Republic . I am a very hands on Director with an enviable spectrum of experience in the gold exploration space. A recent highlight for me has been my involvement as a Director and the only geologist on the Board of Reunion Gold Corp. Reunion's predecessor Golden Star Resources were instrumental in the definition of gold resources at Omai, Guyana, and Gross Rosebel, Suriname. However Reunion's 2020 greenfields drill discovery at Oko West in Guyana eclipses its previous successes. Following only 4 years of drilling a deposit totalling 5.9 million ounces at 2.2 grams per tonne gold has been defined. Gold production is expected by 2017. An unparalleled success story and in an unprecedently short time frame.One of the things I really enjoy is mentoring younger enthusiastic people to develop their careers in the mining industrySpecialties: Minerals Exploration Management & minerals exploration
