Consulting exploration and development geologist assisting with mineral target generation, prioritization and testing; from lightly explored remote fields to intensely drilled open-pit and underground mining centres. Emphasis on using recent advances in the understanding of the geological controls that localise major hydrothermal deposits.Highlights:Using a 36,000+ drill hole dataset, combined with high resolution regional geophysics and historic mapping to create a detailed 600 sq km tectonostratigraphic interpretation of a highly mineralized belt, providing new insight into mineralization controls and generating new drill targets (Yilgarn, WA).Using large inverted magnetotelluric, airborne TEM, gravity and aeromagnetic 3D models to build an understanding of how major structures and gross geometries of a greenstone belt influence the location of major mineralized systems (Yilgarn, WA).Reworking data from an historic uranium mining centre into new databases, squeezing more information from the old datasets, allowing alternative views on targeting and driving drill success (West Arnhem, NT).
