Guyana Goldfields Inc., Toronto, Ontario, 2006-2013

Senior Exploration Geologist

. Skilfully planned, coordinated, implemented, and supervised exploration

programs including QA/QC.

. Effectively managed geological mapping (lithology, structures, and

alteration), geochemical silt-rock-soil sampling and geophysical (IP

resistivity and magnetic surveys) exploration activities (grassroots to

detailed), satellite gold deposits, and prospects of Aurora, Aranka and

Puruni Areas.

. Worked with trenching and drilling program design, including: logistics,

mapping and channel sampling, and core and geotech logging.

. Encoded geological and geochemical data into files and database programs,

utilized MapInfo and downhole explorer to analyze results.

. Used industry knowledge to prepare technical reports and documentation to

ensure compliance with industry and operational requirements.

. Managed and supervised the geotechnical drilling and condemnation DH of

Aurora Gold Project.

. Participated in advanced delineation drilling of the Aurora Gold Project,

Guyana (Rory's Knoll Deposit and other satellite deposits) - 5.71M oz Au

resource (measured and indicated).

. Participated in semi-advanced stage delineation drilling of the Sulfur

Rose Deposit at Aranka Project - >0.5 M oz Au resource (indicated and

inferred).

. Led, guided and mentored less experienced geologists; shared knowledge to

assist with achieving goals.

. Prepared a variety of weekly and monthly reports.

. Researched information and other updated exploration for gold related

articles to improve processes, technologies, or methodologies of

Guygold's exploration programs.

. Provided effective program supervision, budget tracking, and coordination

of various exploration activities.

AMEC, Oakville, Ontario, 2002

Processor (contract position)

. Accurately processed all archive and underground geological data of

Goldcorp Red Lake Mine for ore body modeling and in progress infill

drilling of projected ore extensions.

JAC-XYRIS Construction, Quezon City, Philippines, 1999-2001

Engineering Geologist

. Coordinated with subcontractors (resistivity surveys) in the design and

development of subsurface structural foundations for high rise buildings.

Fostered and maintained positive professional relationships.

. Assessed Basement and subsurface geology, including rock and soil

mechanics.

. Prepared Engineering Geological and Geo-hazard assessment report for

building permit.

Indophil Resources NL (Lions Group of Australia), Makati City, Philippines,

in regional projects, generative studies, and third-party mineral

property assessments.

. Coordinated with Dalton Pacific and Billiton in due diligence and

exploratory surveys of selected mineral properties for possible joint

venture projects and provided Subject Matter Expertise.

. Designed and implemented a successful geological/geochemical/drill hole

database program for systematic and effective data management.

. Developed updated geostatistical analyses of old assay data of multi-

elements from more than 7,000 stream sediments collected from the Sierra

Madre, Luzon, resulting in delineation of two target areas for copper

deposit.

. Accurately processed geological/geochemical data and drill hole assay

results using G-Pick Micromine software.

. Supervised exploration drilling program, detailed logging, and sampling

of core samples of the Manat project in Davao, Philippines.
