What I do
As a professional geologist with more than nineteen years in the mining industry, I have extensive geological, geochemical, and mining experience, managerial skills, and a solid background in research techniques, and training of technical personnel. I am fluent in English, French, Spanish, and Russian. I have been involved in various projects world-wide (Canada, Africa, Russia, Argentina, Haïti, Cuba, Central and South America.). Projects included from regional reconnaissance to local mapping, diamond drilling and RC-drilling programs, open pit and underground mapping and sampling, geochemical sampling and interpretation, and several exploration techniques pertaining to the search for diamonds, PGM, gold, nickel, silver, base metals, industrial minerals, oil & gas, and other magmatic, hydrothermal, porphyritic, VMS and SEDEX ore deposits. Special strengths are related to multilingual geochemical and geological studies, management and organization, geomathematical analysis and modelling, structural studies, database design, exploration studies and writing technical reports. P.Geo. registered in the provinces of Ontario and Quebec.
