About

Professional Prospector involved in mineral and energy prospect acquisition throughout Canada and other jurisdictions. I am able to source projects in all Canadian or foreign jurisdictions. Since 2008, I have been the first or one of the first prospectors acquiring ground around major new discoveries either using online staking systems or utilizing local on the ground professional contractors. If you need a project or want to be involved in a play feel free to contact me. I will utilize my team to scrape any digital database or have a team member visit the local geological information repository and we can source historic occurrences in play areas that not only are in proximity to a new discovery but also will have similar geology or historic occurrences which can be worked. Do not think that all prospective ground is always covered by companies involved in a new discovery- for instance the Blackwater discovery I was able to get within 3 kilometres of the discovery area and the junior that optioned the ground was taken over by New Gold due to geology and results obtained. Current portfolio: Balmoral Quebec tie on Northwest of nickel discovery Copper Mountain fractions over southeast portion of minesite. Coal in British Columbia- Coal Creek metallurgical coal, 900,000 tonnes open pittable, Sustut Thermal coal, 60 million tonnes hypothetical, Guess Creek Anthracite occurrence. Gold in Quebec-

Timmins historic drill holes, 2/3 hit gold zone, 280.0meters apart, never redrilled or explored,

Timmins gold geology, appears only visible gold assayed in 1970's drilling!!

Oct 2016Nov 2016 · 1 mo · a few km from dt Timmins

  • appears only visible gold assayed in 1970's drilling!! at Timmins Historic drill holes, 2/3 hit gold zone, 280.0meters apart, never redrilled or explored,
  • Dome Mine to the SE, over 30km away, at the time had produced 6+ million ounces gold, in january 2016 over 23+ million ounces gold were produced, structural fault projected thru prospect ground, hole logs describe typical Timmins gold geology from throughout the Detour Trend in Timmins area, but not all that geology mined at the time at the Dome Mine--so marker horizons missed to assay, very good chance at a gold deposit in Timmins camp, NE structure drill tested at the time 2/3 holes hit gold, no further work ever done, but claims were held in good standing for decades! Report only digitized in later 2000's--- no report around area reported the gold values.
