PROFESSIONAL SUMMARY

Exploration Geologist with 18 years experience and strong discovery focus. Lead Geoscientist for Lundin's two largest development investments at Ozernoe, Eastern Siberia and Tenke Fungurume, Democratic Republic of Congo. Actively explored with small teams in more than 14 countries making discoveries of Epithermal Au, Porphyry Cu-Au, Porphyry Au, VMS Zn-Cu, Sediment Hosted Au, MVT Zn, Irish style Zn and Shale Hosted Zn.

Pivotal role in Lundin's $1 B development project at the giant Ozernoe Zn-Pb deposit; heading up geoscience within the JV steering committee. Direct management and work alongside a multidisciplinary, multinational team of consultants and contractors. Geosciences representative for Lundin's "Tenke Fungurume Ownership Team" working together with the project managers, Freeport McMoran Copper to quadruple exploration activities of this world-class deposit. Project review of Fortress Minerals' Svetloe gold deposit, Russian Far East.

Expert in project appraisal / evaluation and project generation for both Anglo American and the Lundin stable of juniors. Core exploration skills developed in gold – base metals exploration within volcanic arcs and Zn – Pb in Carbonate and Sedex terrains.

Underground mine experience at Anglo's Lisheen Mine in Ireland, making a new discovery of an economic Zn-Pb orebody (currently being mined). "Best Zn discovery in 20 years from the Batten Region", Queensland, Australia (currently PFS stage). Resource Update and feasibility study development for the giant Ozernoe Zn – Pb VMS deposit situated in remote Siberia (currently for sale by partners).

Set-up exploration offices and built teams across diverse geographical and cultural environments from Australia to Yemen. Generated, negotiated, designed, instigated, budgeted and succeeded in multiple styles of exploration plays. Exceptionally well trained geologist who has had the benefit of working closely with many leading experts in exploration and project development, e.g. R Sillitoe, M Hitzman, G Teale & T Lee.

A keenness to broaden my horizons and a passion to pass on knowledge and build teams with a strong discovery ethos. A self-starter with a record of exploration efficiency second to none and a grounded commercial awareness based on practical appraisal & evaluation. A belief in developing sustainable value for investors, whilst ensuring that people can work and prosper in a safe, healthy work environment. No-nonsense, pragmatic approach has secured deals with Macedonian football magnates, BHP, Chinese airborne survey agencies, aboriginal traditional owners and individual tenement holders alike.

An ability to work in tough environments with a wide range of people and resources ranging from regional exploration in Ireland with a Major to Reserve definition in Siberia with a Junior. Relishes the opportunity to use the skill-sets developed with Anglo American and Lundin to help discover a deposit and or help make a mine.
