EDUCATION

Queen’s University- Bachelor of Science (Geology)

Thesis: Geology and Genesis of the Black Fox Mine Gold Deposit

INDUSTRY EXPERIENCE

Short Term Contract- Exploration Geologist- Wolverine Mine (May 2014- Current)

Yukon Zinc- FIFO camp, Yukon Territory

I have been contracted to oversee a short term (2000 m) underground drill program. I am responsible for the interpretation and

remodeling of the ore reserve for mine planning below our active stopes using Surpac, as well as acting as a liason between the

contracted drilling company and Yukon Zinc.

Underground Production Geologist- Wolverine Mine (January 2013- January 2014)

Yukon Zinc- FIFO camp, Yukon Territory

Wolverine mine is a high grade VMS deposit, with very challenging ground conditions. It was my responsibility as the

production geologist to optimize mine development, through grade control, cost control, and minimization of daily and long

term risks to production and safety.

Since starting with the company in January, I standardized procedures for underground ore control, and geological mapping. I

trained new hires, including geotechnical engineers regarding lithology and structure. Through my geological mapping, I built

the first production ore model using Surpac for the “Lynx” deposit (2 million tons). This included a new interpretation of the ore

body, which in turn has provided exploration targets, as well as provided 100m+ of new ore development, previously unknown

to the mine planners.

Due to the new found geological understanding and control over mining processes, hanging wall exposure was minimized,

which increases safety of the miners, as well as cuts ground support costs. The lowest cost per ton since commissioning was

achieved this past August, and in turn drastically improved feed grade and quality to the mill.

On top of my regular beat duties, I was responsible for short term geological planning, daily and monthly production reports,

as well as fulfilling the senior geologist duties 1 week a month. I was selected by my coworkers as representation for the mining

department in an employee committee, in which issues of safety and of other matter are brought up and discussed directly with

the mine manager.

Underground Production Geologist- Black Fox Mine (November 2011- January 2013)

Brigus Gold- Matheson, Ontario

Black Fox mine is situated east of Matheson, Ontario, and is an open pit as well as an underground mine. During

my time at Brigus Gold, I was the lead underground production geologist, responsible for grade output of the

underground workings. The geology of the deposit was mapping intensive and complex, with multiple ore hosts

and cross cutting structures.

I supervised and trained new production core loggers, underground geologists, and planned underground

bazooka drilling, targeting areas of interest developed through my meticulous mapping and chip sampling. I used

AutoCAD and GEMS programs daily to assist me in my mapping duties and planning.

I participated in weekly planning meetings with the chief geologist, mine manager and mining superintendent to

optimize underground grade and production. I worked closely with our miners and contractors, to gain their trust

and respect, and in turn was able to minimize inefficiencies within production.

Due to the nugget nature of the ore body, I was also directly responsible for managing stock piles, and working

closely with the open pit to crush and blend the ideal feed grade for the mill.

Student/ Exploration Geologist (May 2010- Sept 2010/ January 2011-Nov 2011)

St. Andrew Goldfields, Matheson, Ontario

Between May 2010 and Nov 2011 I worked for St. Andrew Goldfields in various student and full time roles. This includes, but

is not limited to: due diligence of mining claims and prospective properties, drill hole spotting, core logging, drill management

and thin section analysis. Gold deposit logging experience includes: Holt mine, Holloway mine, Hislop Mine, Garrison Creek

deposit, Aquarius Deposit, Taylor Deposit and other various grassroots projects.

Geochemistry Lab Assistant (September 2010- December 2010)

Uravan Minerals, in association with Queen’s University Facility for Isotope Research, Kingston Ontario

This role included the preparation of tree cores and separation of clay minerals for lead isotope analysis for uranium

exploration. This involved working in a state-of-the-art class 100 clean laboratory with highly sensitive and valuable material.
