Developed a Mineralogy Lab capability for Barrick Gold Corp. to provide operations support and support metallurgical test work at Barrick Technology Centre. Implemented use of XRD (Bruker D8 Focus), applied MLA measurements for mineral characterization initially and added two TESCAN-TIMA systems in 2012. MLA replaced by a third TIMA system in 2018 equipped with cathode luminescence and Oxford Instruments combined EDX-WDX spectrometers for major and trace element mineral analysis. Support is supplied for Barrick global operations and exploration as well as external clients with a focus on gold deposit mineralogy and the mineralogy of gold from flotation concentrates and tails, hydrometallurgy and leach products and calcines from pyrometallurgy. Environment samples related to gold mine operations are also characterized using mineralogy. XRF element intensity distribution maps are provided for exploration clients on cut drill core / slabs to characterize element distributions with macro-scale features (veins, shears, alteration) using a Bruker M4 Tornado XRF analyzer.

Managed the Mineralogy Laboratory to provide Xstrata Operations support for Ni, Cu and PGM processing. Involved exploration geologists on global projects, undergound mine operations (backfill mineralogy), concentrator operations (Strathcona, Kidd Creek, Raglan, Collahuasi, Antamina), smelter operations (Falconbridge), Health and Safety (mine site buildings - asbestos mineralogy). Lab maintained and operated 2 QEMSCAN SEM's, Bruker D8 XRD, CAMECA SX-100 EPMA, TESCAN Vega SEM with Oxford quantitative EDX (INCA, AZTEC).

Carried out a sampling and mapping program for David Bell Consulting West of the Hemlo gold camp. Sample and mapped mafic intrusive units of the Port Coldwell Alkaline Complex for PGM and Cu-Ni potential.

Evaluation of gold and platinum group mineral (PGM) deposits in North America for potential acquisition by Noramco.

Au project was part of the "Black River - Matheson (BRIM)" program in Ontario to study gold mineralogy and petrogenesis related to deposits along the Destor-Porcupine Fault (DPF).
