Relevant Education/Work Experience
Certified Professional Geologist with a B.Sc. Earth Sciences with honor from the University of Tulsa, and M.Sc. Geology from the University of New Mexico. I have 35 years experience as an exploration geologist and analyst searching for economic deposits of base and precious metals, industrial minerals, coal, uranium, oil and gas, and water in North and South America, Europe, and Asia. I worked for junior explorers, major mining companies, private companies, and investors as a consulting economic geologist for over 20 years, specializing in geological mapping, property evaluation, and business development. I am high-altitude proficient, bilingual in English and Spanish, and from 2003 to 2006 made four outcrop ore discoveries in Peru, Nevada, Chile, and British Columbia.
