I am an experienced geologist with approximately 20 years industry experience in roles that have varied from mine operations through to regional exploration. My experience includes narrow vein lode, lateritic nickel, pegmatite hosted tantalum and lithium, iron ore, and carbonatite and hard rock rare earth mineralisation. I also have experience in project assessment, mineral resource estimate auditing, and public reporting.I have been involved with projects domestically and internationally across Africa and South America and been responsible for the preparation of JORC and NI43-101 technical reports for Mineral Resource estimates.I have completed post graduate study including mine engineering, mine finance, and geostatistics, and I have been able to employ this broad understanding of the mining value chain to the various inputs in the geological modelling stage, achieving positive outcomes in the projects I have been involved with.
