He has been involved in the minerals and exploration industry since 1969 and his expertise has been utilised by both large and small exploration companies including Clutha Services Limited, Blue Circle Southern Cement Limited and CRA ExplorationPty Ltd. Experience with major companies has included advice leading to the entry of CRAE into the Ashton J V and the discovery of diamonds at Ellendale, discovery of Mudtank vermiculite deposit, development of predictive coal quality and mine roof control problem models for the Western Coalfield as well as development of effective sampling techniques for gold and diamonds for a range of environments.
He established his own consulting and contracting business in 1995 and his considerable knowledge, experience and expertise has been called upon by a number of private and public companies, the NSW Department of Mineral Resources and the University of NSW in dealing with a range of commodities and deposit styles, including both hard rock and alluvial gold and diamonds as well as copper, lead, nickel, zinc, coal dimension stone, sand, clays and vermiculite. This work has ranged from reviews of previous exploration to development of predictive geological models, exploration planning and project management, resource and reserve estimation as well as preparation of mine plans and environmental management plans. Projects have been located in remote regions overseas as well as throughout Australia.
