I have had a diverse mineral exploration background for precious and base metals. I have conducted mineral exploration in Canada, USA, Australia, and Serbia. I have gold exploration experience in Archean greenstone mesothermal (volcanic and iron formation hosted) lode gold, Paleozoic (Stawell-type) Orogenic gold, Intrusion-related (Pogo-type) gold, and epithermal gold deposit types. I have copper (and gold) exploration experience in porphyry and epithermal type deposits. I also have experience in high-temperature and pressure experimental petrology and research in physical volcanology. I have experience exploring for ore deposits in covered terrain including glacially covered and deeply weathered environments. I am familiar and comfortable with working in steep, rugged alpine and wooded mountainous terrain. I have conducted mineral exploration in arctic tundra and under permafrost conditions.In exploration I use a multidisciplinary approach to mineral exploration and geological problem solving. I believe in developing exploration programs based upon understanding the fundamental geological controls, events, and processes of ore formation.Specialties: Early stage (grassroots) to Intermediate exploration, Geological Mapping, Project Generation, Data Compilation and Interpretation, Applied Geophysics, Petrology
