GEOLOGY & TECHNICAL

Foundation: 25 years in land, teaching: Petroleum Land Management (Field Services/Mount Royal College); author: "The Landman in Action" surficial geology and all aspects of petroleum land including strategies and methods for surface and minerals acquisition.

Milestones: discovered and mapped the Peace River Ashes, named the Whitestone Marker in Montney, Peace and Many Island channels (1997) (AGS MIN_1997006 Report); Operator of the Peace Diamond Project, a seven-year multi-million dollar assessment exploring, mapping and drilling a 500,000 acre metallic and industrial minerals block in the Clear Hills of Alberta.

Proposed: the West Peace Diamond Indicator Mineral Trend (1999) using photo interpretation, magnetometer surveys, exploration and reconnaissance, sampling of KIMs (kimberlite indicators) mapping, shallow-hole logging; sampling DIMS (diamond indicator minerals) and analysis (heavy metallics and diamond indicator mineral geochemistry) picking, probing, interpreting.

Project Manager Clear Hills: Arriba Land & Minerals has been instrumental in coordinating the ownership of minerals and surface infrastructure for the Clear Hills Rambling Creek Drill Program for Ironstone Resources Ltd. This was a program designed to show a "Measured Resource" qualification for adequate tons of iron ore to meet economic threshold for a mine and possibly prove the Clear Hills deposit to be one of the largest mineable iron ore deposits in the world.
