Management of geological resources, exploration and tenement administration of the company's Yangibana REE project located in the northwest of western Australia. Unusual rocks, for an unusual commodity, the project is now transitioning from exploration and resource development to mine-build and ultimately production of a high grade neodymium-praseodymium (Nd-Pr) rich TREO concentrate.

Canberra

I travel the planet pursuing my interest in geology and minerals, working towards the next major economic mineral discovery, prospecting, seeking out, and appreciating the finest things nature offers.Low times in the mining industry are an opportunity, not a threat for those who are prepared to back themselves. During such periods I utilise geological information to select and visit multiple regions of the world where there is potential to generate income and wealth, assessing and building ground portfolios for myself and clients. Applying knowledge gained through years of experience in targeting, exploring and testing gold, silver and copper anomalies I search for and exploit windows of opportunities that exist in the spectrum of the definition of economic; that is, justified by profitability, and regardless of scale.
