  • Supervision of drilling programs in Pakistan and Australia for gold exploration.
  • Due diligence study of a North Korean gold deposit, including site visit.
  • Exploration target generation for orogenic gold and porphyry copper-gold deposits in Kyrgyzstan, based largely on advanced interpretation of exploration geochemistry.
  • Re-assessment of drilling data for gold deposits using 3D interpretation techniques.
  • Assessment of sub-continental scale (eastern Australia) digital stream sediment geochemistry datasets - involved innovative multi-element statistical leveling of approx 350,000 samples, and map display.
  • Tectono-metallogenic re-assessment of the Georgetown Inlier, Queensland, including target generation in the Croydon Goldfield.
  • Integrated interpretation of digital exploration data and target generation for the Mt Morgan District, Queensland. Based predominantly on advanced interpretation of exploration geochemistry.
  • Photogeological mapping of bauxite deposits in Western Australia, followed by supervision of drilling and pitting program.
  • 3-D visualisation modeling of the geology of the Mt Morgan Au-Cu Deposit.
  • Integrated interpretation of digital exploration data and target generation for Iron Oxide Cu-Au and gold deposits (incl. Tick Hill style) in Proterozoic Eastern Succession rocks north of Cloncurry, Queensland. Based predominantly on advanced interpretation of exploration geochemistry - leading to the on-ground recognition of extensive new gold-anomalous alteration zones.
  • Modeling of coal seams from historical drillhole data for regional coal exploration - Bowen Basin, Queensland.
  • Photogeological-type interpretation of stereo satellite images (ASTER) for coal exploration in Queensland.
  • Sweden - exploration for BHT and Iron Oxide Cu-Au deposits - Proterozoic terrain analysis and exploration target generation - field mapping and till geochemical sampling - compilation and interpretation of till geochemistry and integration with other data - target delineation in Norbotten and Bergslagen regions.
  • Integrated interpretation of digital exploration data and target generation for exploration permit covering ground in NSW prospective for porphyry-related Cu-Au deposits - leading to a significant mineralised intersection in recent drilling following further work by the client.

Geoscience General

  • Selection of sites for water bore drilling, using satellite image interpretation for large cattle grazing property in North Qld - resulted in four new bores.
  • Coastal geology and land zone study by remote sensing of an area near Mackay, Queensland - as part of a detailed study of flora, fauna, hydrology and cultural heritage - Western Lands Draft report summary
  • Digital land surface modeling for proposed land development - to support arguments in the SE Queensland Planning and Environment Court.
  • Coastal geology and geomorphological study by remote sensing (aerial photographs & satellite images) of an area in SE Queensland, including development of a coastal evolution model - leading to on-stand Expert Witness evidence in the Planning & Environment Court of Queensland.

Past Projects - Geoscience

  • Part of Project Generation Team involved in integrated analysis of the Broken Hill Block aimed at identifying high-priority BHT Ag-Pb-Zn exploration targets.
  • Integrated interpretation of digital exploration data and target generation for exploration permit covering ground in NSW prospective for Iron Oxide Cu-Au and BHT deposits.
  • Technical edit of Environmental Impact Statement for proposed mine.
  • Preparation of project GIS for a North Queensland mine.
  • Stream sediment multi-element geochemistry and interpretation for gold exploration areas in north Queensland, aimed at characterising various styles of gold mineralisation, and determining reliable and repeatable sampling methods for gold. The resulting data was integrated with previous stream sampling programs and photogeological interpretation to allow for enhanced exploration target generation and geological understanding.
  • Design and management of regional stream sediment geochemical sampling program over 80,000 sq km in northern Pakistan (1992 - 1995). The AusAID (Australian Agency for International Development) sponsored project (GEMAP - Gold Exploration and Mineral Analysis Project) included major components of "in-service" and short-course training for Pakistan geologists. The data is available in digital and hard-copy form - we can be contacted for further details.
  • GIS-based regional data compilation and interpretation, and identification of copper-gold and zinc-lead-silver exploration targets for a 3,000 sq km area in the Mt Isa region of Northern Australia during the pioneer years for such GIS application. Project included development of computer methodology and procedures, and involved large digital datasets (for the time) of a wide variety of surface exploration data and geophysics.
  • Detailed geological interpretation of 1:10,000 scale aerial photographs for gold exploration projects in north Queensland , with output in full GIS digital format.
  • GIS-format capture of geological and geochemical data from hard-copy reports for exploration tenements in Botswana for Australian explorer - interpretation of geochemistry and presentation of compiled data.
  • Design and set-up of digital exploration databases for various clients, including IT policy and methodology advice.
  • Photogeological study for mineral sands exploration of the coastal dune systems on the southern coast of Western Australia, aimed at locating palaeo-strandlines.
  • Photogeological study for petroleum exploration (old oil) in area of poor outcrop and low dips in the Georgina basin aimed at locating dome closures for siting drillholes - resulted in a new oil intersection.
