Founder & Principal Geologist
CurrentIn the truest sense, Exploration should be termed “Geoscience”, as it is our job to get the description of the host rocks correct, so that your Company will find a mine. This means that Geoscience knowledge will not only improve operational performance when integrated at the Brownfields stage, but it is exceptional ad-value when it is used to improve target generation at the Greenfield stage. Although enhancing knowledge of the mine environment is critical, geoscience activities are not solely conducted to define a block model. Rather, the proper use of this knowledge of a mine can drive better regional targeting to define long-term value to the infrastructure and shareholder value. A symbiotic relationship between Brownfield and Greenfield projects should form, so there is a pipeline to replenish the project portfolio. There is always room to improve modeling through more effective targeting because the best place to find a mine is in the shadow of a “Headframe”.• Project Management: Budget review & set-up, exploration camp G&A review & set-up, drilling programs (contract tenders and implementations), geological mapping, geochemical surveys, HSEC review & set-up• Project Evaluations: Drill database review, resource model and geological model review, field assessments, risks & opportunities & recommendations• Quality Control/Quality Assurance: QAQC program design (precious metal/base metal), core shack set-up/design & training, lab inspections, data audit/sign-off• Data Management: review how data is stored, review of server structure, review of file naming protocols, data management set-up & recommendations• Data Collection: Logging drill holes (geological & geomechanical), creation of drill sections and maps, interpretation of results, calculation of drill intervals• Report Writing: Compilations (TGI – target generation initiatives), project summaries (website and PR review for adherence to NI 43-101 standards), assessment reports, NI 43-101 reports

Vice President Exploration
Main responsibility at Alamos Gold is the management and corporate oversight of all Generative, Greenfields, and Brownfields exploration activities, and the continual development of mineral resources and reserves Worldwide; which currently includes Mexico and Turkey.For 2013, AGI has approved a budget in Mexico of $10.6M, of which it is expected that 65% will be expensed and 35% will be capitalized. The 2013 work program will include both Greenfields regional exploration targets such as Puerto del Aire, La Dura, Compadres East, El Halcon, Ostimuri, and others of a generative nature. Brownfields exploration program of approximately 72,000 metres of RC and core drilling at Mulatos that will focus on San Carlos Northeast, East Estrella, El Realito, Compadres, and the immediate mine area of Escondida, El Victor North, and El Victor South).In Turkey for 2013, AGI has committed $10.9M for exploration, of which 35% will be expensed and 65% will be capitalized. The very positive results at the Camyurt deposit in 2012, the Company plans to aggressively drill this project in order to increase the classification and quality of the mineral resources, such that they can potentially be used to convert resource ounces into mineral reserves in 2013. Should this occur, it would facilitate the fast-tracking towards production; however, it should be noted that additional drilling and engineering work are required and there is no guarantee that a mineral reserve will be identified. The work program for 2013 will include a minimum of 31,700 metres of core drilling and will focus primarily on Brownfields exploration at Camyurt deposit (definition drilling), Agi Dagi (definition and expansion drilling), target expansion (Ihlamur, Fire Tower, Aye Tepe) at Agi Dagi deposit, Kirazli deposit (definition and expansion drilling), and target expansion (Rock Pile) at Kirazli deposit. Greenfields exploration will also occur on the Company’s Iri, Kale, and Catalkaya targets.
Vice President Exploration
Joined the predecessor company Pacifica Resources Ltd. (now Selwyn through novation in June 2007) at the time of its creation in December 2004 after being spun out of Yukon Zinc Corporation (formerly Expatriate Resources Ltd.).During tenure with Selwyn Resources Ltd, one company was successfully spun out: Savant Explorations Ltd. was derived from selling all of the base metal assets in Selwyn deemed to be none-core, ie- not in the Howard's Pass District or near Selwyn project, into a new shell company.Main responsibility at Selwyn is the managing of exploration and mineral resource development of the Selwyn project that is comprised of 14 contiguous zones that form a single sedimentary exhalative deposit (SEDEX) over 40 kilometres in strike length. Since starting with Selwyn, expenditures for the Exploration Department has totaled over $94.5 Million (to end of 2012) and resulted in the successful completion of over 203,000 metres of drill core that led to the discovery of 9 deposits. Staffing for the department has ranged from less than 10 to more than 150 at peak periods.In mid February 2011, Selwyn entered into an agreement to purchase all assets of ScoZinc Limited from Acadian Mining Corporation. The assets included the Scotia Mine and 12,256 hectares of mineral claims covering much of the prospective geology in the Windsor Basin. The purchase price is $10M less any funds paid to the Nova Scotia government related to unpaid mineral taxes on former mine production or any funds needed to top up the reclamation and closure bonds for the Scotia Mine property. The acquisition was officially completed in June 01, 2011.
Vice President Exploration
Joined the predecessor company (Expatriate Resources Ltd.) in April 2003 and remained with Yukon Zinc Corporation them until July 2008 when it was taken over by Jinduicheng Molybdenum Group Co. Ltd. of China.During tenure with Yukon Zinc, two companies were successfully spun out: StrataGold Corporation and Selwyn Resources Ltd. (formerly Pacifica Resources Ltd.). StrataGold was derived from selling all of the precious metal assets in Expatriate into a new shell company, and Selwyn was derived from selling all of the base metal assets outside of the Wolverine deposit and properties in the Finlayson District into a new shell company.Main responsibility at Yukon Zinc was the managing of exploration and mineral resource development of the Wolverine VMS deposit to a Feasibility Study level of confidence. It should be noted that the Wolverine deposit successfully went through an Optimized Feasibility Study (including numerous independent audits) and the deposit currently under construction with metal anticipated to be produced from the mine in mid- to third quarter 2010. The most significant exploration success was the discovery of Thunderstruck VMS zone, on the Goalnet claim grouping. Field crews followed up on favorable geology that had been observed being repeatedly struck by lightening during a storm. The massive sulphide mineralization is of the same age as Teck Resources Ltd.'s Kudz Ze Kayah deposit, 20km to the north.
Vice President Exploration
Although I ran the Hyland Gold property field drilling program from June to September 2003 from the exploration camp in southeastern Yukon due to an injury to the VP Exploration, as well as initial geochemical survey follow-up on the Aurex and Lynx gold prospects outside of Mayo, Yukon in September and October 2003, I did not take over as Interim Vice President Exploration until late January 2004. This temporary posting with StrataGold was due to a period of management transition. During my time with StrataGold, I managed both winter road mobilizations to the Hyland Gold and Lynx properties, which would set them up for drilling programs planned for the summer of 2004. In addition, I hired most of the core geological team that would end up taking StrataGold forward to significant success on their programs in the Yukon and Guyana.
Project Geologist
I worked as a Project Geologist for Hudson Bay Exploration and Development Co. Ltd. ("HBED") out of their Vancouver, British Columbia office; however, was seconded to Flin Flon & Snow Lake, Manitoba to gain operational experience in and around their mining operations. During my time with HBED, its parent company, Hudson Bay Mining & Smelting Co. Ltd. had its parent company Minorco plc acquired by Anglo American plc. This brought about many changes and exposed HBED to a much broader range of projects throughout North America. Project work included but was not limited to the following deposit models: VMS, Ni-Cu-PGE, SEDEX, IOCG, and Carlin-type deposits.• Lead Project Geologist for developing VMS-SHMS targets for Cordillera and follow-up exploration activities (until January 2002)• Lead Project Geologist for developing Mesozoic-aged VMS targets for Cordillera and follow-up exploration activities (until January 2002)• Lead Project Geologist for exploration of VMS-SHMS in Saskatchewan and follow-up exploration activities (January 2002 to April 2003)
Geologist
This was my first full-time job while completing my MSc at Laurentian University in Sudbury, Ontario. Worked as a Geologist on a variety of projects including but not limited to Niblack VMS (Au-rich) deposit, SE Alaska, USA; Rock and Roll VMS deposit on Iskut River, NW B.C.; Milestone-Jessie Lake (Diadem) Ni-Cu-PGE-Au property, Temagami, Ontario; San Jose de Gracia Epithermal Au property, Mexico; Aprelevka Au deposit, Karamazar Mining District, Tajikistan, CIS; Ferragudo VMS property (adjacent to Neves Corvos VMS deposit), Portugal
Graduate Student
** two additional years until 1998 enrolled full-time as a graduate student that was spent working on my M.Sc. thesis off-campus while working full time for Pamicon Developments Ltd. on exploration projects around the WorldThe project was called "Genesis and Metallogeny of High-grade Cu-Ni-PGE Ore Zones and Associated Alteration Facies in the Footwall Volcanic Succession of the Temagami Copper Mine, Temagami, Ontario. It was a research project borne for the development of exploration vectors and strategy for Teck Exploration Ltd. regarding hydrothermal-related Cu-Ni-PGE mineralization and magmatic ore forming systems in the presence of large, layered igneous intrusions.In the study, there as the identification of a mineralizing system similar to the Ni-Cu sulphide mineralization in the Sudbury Igneous Complex that is 900 Ma years older and is not related to a large bolide impact. There was also the identification of a multiphase, overprinting, complex hydrothermal alteration paragenetic history, which can be used as a general exploration vector in the field. The multiphase, overprinting, complex paragenetic history for the formation of the massive sulphide mineralization in the high-grade Cu-Ni-PGE ore bodies is similar to other deposits along the Grenville Front. As well, detailed mineralogy led to the identification of trace element content within hydrous hydrothermal alteration minerals as an exploration tool for vectoring into the core of the mineralizing system. SEM work led to the identification of a hydrothermal REE mineral in both the alteration assemblage and massive sulphides; which shall allow for direct age dating of the mineralization.
Junior Geologist
I was working in support of three Senior Geologists in the Cobalt & Temagami, Ontario area exploring for Volcanogenic Massive Sulphide (VMS) deposits in the Archean greenstone belts of Northern, Ontario.My supervisors allowed me to collect data for a thesis research project, so completion of work with Falconbridge Ltd., I successfully completed a Hon. B.Sc. thesis: An Archean Volcanogenic Massive Sulphide system in the Cobalt Embayment, Cobalt, Ontario, Canada; which won the CIM President's Medal for best student essay in 1994-1995.
Junior Geologist
I was working in a support role for Dr. Vladamir Ruzicka, who was undertaking uranium research in the Athabasca Basin on Unconformity Uranium deposits.
