Expert Geology, Proven Results
Turning exploration challenges into success with insightful geological consulting.
My Services
Exploration Consulting
Need to plan a sampling program, I got you. Interested in an area of land but not sure if it is worth it, I’m on it. Need someone to go out into the field to run a program? I’m your guy. Looking for someone to give a rundown on different exploration techniques to your team, I’m the one you want.
From early-stage ideas to boots-on-the-ground execution, I can help design, oversee or run exploration programs that actually move a project forward.
Technical Advice
Have an exploration problem you are trying to solve? Unsure if you should invest in a greenfields project?
Exploration rarely comes with obvious answers. Whether you’re wrestling with a geological problem, trying to decide if a greenfields opportunity is worth pursuing, or working out the next step in a program, I’m your guy.
I provide practical, technically grounded advice based on real exploration experience, so you can make decisions with a clearer understanding of the risks, opportunities, and likely outcomes.
Project Reviews
Whether you have a project you’d like an independent set of eyes on, or you’re considering investing in someone else’s project, I’m happy to take a look. I’ll review the geology, exploration history, datasets, and the broader context of the project, then give you my honest, unbiased opinion.
You’ll get clear, candid feedback: what works, what doesn’t, and what I’d be doing next if it were my project.
Whether Dolerite in Australia or Diabase in the USA, it’s the same reliable host for world-class mineral systems. Like the rock itself, the expertise remains consistent across borders, specialising in the geology of gold and copper deposits globally.
