Chris Giles Email & Phone Number

Dr Chris Giles is a widely experienced exploration geologist having worked on exploration teams that were directly responsible for the discovery of several currently operating gold mines in various parts of the world, while working for Newmont (Indonesia and Australia), North Flinders Mines (The Granites and Callie) and East African Gold Mines (Mara gold deposits, Tanzania). Gunung Pani in Indonesia was the one that got away!He was a joint founder of Havilah Resources Limited and has overseen the development and execution of the Company’s exploration and corporate strategy that has resulted in the delineation of over 1.3 million tonnes of copper and 3.3 million ounces of gold in JORC Mineral Resources plus discovery of the vast new Grants iron ore basin.He is quoted as saying:"Havilah's tenements in the Curnamona Craton cover some of the most prospective yet under-explored Precambrian geological terrain in Australia as evidenced by our discoveries to date."There is remarkably widespread copper and gold mineralisation in IOCG, Copper Belt and skarn style settings."We have so many drill-worthy prospects that I believe we have only just begun to scratch the surface in terms of new discoveries."The secrets to our exploration success are detailed field geological knowledge and experience, thinking and geological modelling in 3D, and operating our own drilling equipment and crew, which gives us great flexibility and maximises drilling metres per dollar spent."Dr. Giles is a substantial shareholder in Havilah, a resident of Adelaide and a Member of the Australian Institute of Geoscientists and the author of several scientific papers published in international journals. He speaks Bahasa Indonesia and Kiswahili.
