As leader of Buxton Resources Ltd I’m focused on maximising the value of the company’s diversified portfolio of mineral properties and ensuring the safety and wellbeing of our employees and contractors.

As Chief Geo I was responsible for managing the mineral property portfolio, including identifying and securing assets such as our Copper Wolf project in Arizona.

Managing exploration and mineral resource sector investments of Squadron Resources PL a private, family-owned company. This role, supported by a part-time tenement manager and shared services, encompassed virtually all aspects of a modern exploration company from setting the strategic direction to building a multi-commodity pipeline of 100%-owned projects, to drill testing targets.

This work led directly to a recent discovery, see the June 2020 WSA announcement below!Assessment and development of 'new' commodity opportunities, including base-, precious-, and alternative industrial metals, with the aim of growing the world's premier zircon and titanium producer into the world's most profitable diversified mid-tier miner. This role was a key part of a pioneering team tasked with both greenfields generative studies and the technical review of development-stage project acquisition opportunities.Main Deposit Styles:- Magmatic nickel sulphide (intrusive hosted)- IOCG- SEDEXKey Achievements:- Generated and managed 3-year province-scale grassroots nickel exploration program in the Fowler Domain, South Australia- Numerous 3rd party property reviews & generative efforts- Represented Iluka on the CET External Advisory Group (EAG)Main Responsibilites:- Developing New Commodities strategy (commodity / deposit type, geographic focus)- Reviewing Iluka’s existing inventory of exploration properties for precious and base-metal prospectivity- Executing multidisciplinary exploration activities for the “New Commodities” team (~AU$3-4M / year)- Executing & managing farm-in/out agreements- Target generation (data synthesis, analysis, inversion etc)- Property reviews (domestic & international)- Safety, environmental and innovation leadership
