** ********** *****

PO Box ***, Pasadena,

Newfoundland and Labrador,

Canada, A0L-1K0

December 23, 2013

To whom it may concern

My name is Mark King and I am applying for the position of

"Geologist". I have completed a Bachelor of Science degree at Memorial

University of Newfoundland on April 24, 2003. My major is within the

discipline of Earth Science/Geology with concentrations in Economic Mineral

Deposits.

The laboratory components of my degree program give me the necessary

skills (analytical, organizational, written and verbal) in which to carry

out scientific analysis of all types of data. Previous studies in Economic

Geology involved a systematic review of genetic models for the principle

types of metallic mineral deposits as well as an examination of

representative suites of samples of different types of metallic mineral

deposits. The use of reflective and transmitted light microscopy was a

necessary component in the evaluation of these mineral deposits.

My recent work experiences with Cameco Australia Pty have challenged

me unlike any other previous roll in my field of expertise. The diversity

of the geology coupled with the structural complexity of the project area I

primarily worked in, helped me understand the importance of time as a

function of the mineralizing events that dictate the size, shape,

complexity and invariably the economics of potential mineral deposits. The

opportunity to work in the geologically distinct environment that is

Australia will be an invaluable experience for the rest of my professional

career.

My work experiences with NovaGold, Belloy Petroleum, ESO Uranium,

Fronteer Development Group and the Department of Natural Resources,

Geological Survey have enlightened me to the diverse geology within the

country of Canada. The jobs consisted of a constantly changing work

environment that required a strong background in all facets of geology. My

previous work experiences have enlightened me to the diversity of the

situations encountered during employment. They have taught me how to

handle situations that required quick thinking and strong decision making

in order to achieve a positive outcome.

Throughout my educational and professional career, my interpersonal

relationships with co-workers and the general public have been nothing but

positive. The knowledge gained by these experiences is invaluable. I

request the opportunity for an interview, at a time convenient for you, so

as to elaborate further on my previous experiences. My references are

available upon request. Any questions or comments are welcome. I thank

you for your time and consideration.

Sincerely,
