Summary

Experienced in exploration which begins growing up near the Prairie Creek Lamproite Pipe of

Arkansas (United States), through Venezuela, Guyana, western and northern United States, I

have planned all phases of exploration from grass-roots regional exploration, follow-up, stream &

soil heavy mineral and geochemical sampling, through geophysics, drilling, core logging, bulk

sampling, and recovery. I am a team-oriented person, finding the benefits through cooperation

and achievement. I fulfill my goals and always give my very best to each project. I am dedicated

to doing a thorough and excellent work. My work is not limited to diamond, gold, and uranium but

any geological activity, which involves mapping, GIS software applications (MapInfo/Discover &

MapViewer), heavy mineral, geochemical, geophysics, drilling, logistics, and bulk sampling. I am

experienced with organizing and supervising work groups, drill crews, and contractors. I focus on

Strategic Management and Project Management with good decision making for progress and

success of a project.

Confidential contract

Patagonia region of Argentina

July 2008 September 2008

I took this confidential contract to investigate the uranium potential in the Patagonia region of

Argentina. The geology in the area of interest was very much like the Colorado Plateau in the

United States. I also was looking into Argentine labor laws and environmental issues, as well as

procedures for gaining claims, cateos, and surface owner relations. I reported all this back to the

company who has interest in performing future uranium exploration in Argentina.

US Exploration Manager

I was the US Exploration Manager for Denison Mines. I was based on the Colorado Plateau and

I planned exploration drill projects on the Colorado Plateau. I made arrangements with drill

contractors and planning drill sites. I also worked with historic drill logs from past companies in

order to help guide the new drill programs. My main target was in the Salt Wash member of the

Morrison Formation. I spent time in the underground uranium mines to understand the uranium

deposits. I used MapInfo/Discover for exploration.

crew, one excavator crew, eighty workers, sample shed crew, and contract transportation. I kept

track of data using MapInfo. I used a data base of geology provided by the Guyanese

government which includes all previous companies exploration results. This includes air

geophysics of various types, air photos, regional sample results, structure maps, and geologic

maps. We used GPS for marking all sample locations. I designed grids for ground geophysics

with ground magnetometers and scintillometer. I logged core and samples directly into the

computer. I worked closely with upper management. I made a budget every two weeks for the

project. I enjoyed the work very much, but left only due to the amount of malaria and dengue

fever in the area, which was infecting me and family. I used MapInfo for exploration.

United States diamond exploration

Follow-up heavy mineral survey in glacial till and outwash in an area which also included strong

structural control and bedrock outcrop. The heavy mineral survey was to find more kimberlite

indicator minerals and to determine if they came from the local bedrock or transported in by

glaciation. Samples consisted of 20 liter, -2mm material. These were field concentrated and

shipped directly to the lab. We worked independently and achieved all planned sample sites. We

then plotted the information on digital maps with the program MapViewer, using UTM

coordinates, and updated sample files with detailed sample information.

United States diamond exploration.

Exploring regions of the United States, where diamonds have historically been discovered by

individuals and during mining activity. Planned logistics of the field work, then conducted the field

work. This particular project involved heavy mineral stream sampling and rock sampling for

micro-diamond. We took a travel trailer to the job and conducted the work from a central location.

This involved using GPS, maps using UTM, field heavy mineral concentrating equipment, asking

permission for sampling on private land. This was in a greenstone belt.

consist of ranchers and farmers. We took the information that we gained through sampling and

microprobe and picked the areas of highest potential. We generated the maps with combined

GIS layers of information. With the overlap of high potential areas for each type of characteristic

conducive to diamond occurrence, areas of high interest were picked.

Blue Ball Kimberlite Heavy Mineral Sampling Project

Scott County Arkansas United States

In cooperation with University of Arkansas, Department of Geosciences

Fayetteville, Arkansas

November 2000 May 2001

Position - Exploration Geologist/Project manager

This project involved an 800-liter stream sample of Dutch Creek in Scott County, Arkansas. A

known lamproite dyke occurs in the drainage area. The interest of this study was to determine if

other lamproites occur in the same drainage area and to speculate if these other lamproites are

diamondiferous. Heavy minerals were recovered from the sample and kimberlite indicator

minerals were recovered. I was in charge of the project from start to finish. My activities included

taking the sample, field concentration of heavy minerals, mapping, heavy mineral separation in

the lab, picking kimberlite indicator minerals, and report writing.

This project involved many phases of geological work in the attempt to find a minable area for

diamond; regional heavy mineral sampling, follow-up heavy mineral sampling, geochemical soil &

stream sampling, emplacement of geophysical grids in jungle and savanna, geologic &

geomorphic mapping, geophysics, drilling, logging core, logging mud samples from deep augur,

and bulk sampling. Each operation lasted from a few days to as long as six months and each

involved a separate kind of logistics. The work area was in tropical jungle and savanna and

involved extended stays in the field in mobile camps and main camp.

Position Senior Exploration Geologist

This project mostly involved regional BLEGG sampling over the western half of Guyana. This

involved extended stays in the field in mobile jungle camps. Camps were moved on a weekly or

bi-weekly basis, depending on the area. Camps were in savanna, swamps, and jungle.

Transportation was small boat, ATV, tractor, and helicopter. I planned the logistics for these

activities in cooperation with management. A period of follow-up gold exploration was carried out

in deep jungle, where a 2km x 2km grid was cut, and geochemical samples were taken at various

depths with Dutch augur. The work crew under my supervision was 30 men.

Prairie Creek Project

Murfreesboro, Arkansas

October 1992 December 1994

Position Exploration Geologist

This project involved the mapping, exploration, geophysics, drilling, and bulk sampling of a series

of lamproite pipes. I was involved in all stages, including logistics for each activity. These duties

included geologic mapping, grid emplacement, ground geophysics, mapping access roads and

arranging contractors to build them, preparing drill sites, supervise drilling, logging core, planning

bulk samples and arranging contractors, observing the bulk samples being processed, picking

diamonds recovered, and site reclamation. Local and regional heavy mineral stream sampling

was done in relation to air-magnetics.

Statement

Over the years, I have had very good experience in supervision of work groups, projects, and

camps. I have managed logistics from beginnings all the way through to the end results, made

long range plans for work and logistics and then carried out the activities myself or assigned the

project to other geologists. In my jobs, I have dealt with the people, which include workers,

management, contractors, investors, visitors, interested groups and people, government, tourists,

and more. In all cases, I always maintain a high level of positive attitude. I learn very fast, and

enjoy whatever I am doing while adapting to the environment. I am good both for the field and

office, and for making good logistics or following the logistics set up by others. I also work

excellent independently or in a team effort.
