Address:
Professor Visitante do GRM (07/96)
Currently providing courses in mineral deposits and exploration techniques to Postgraduate students.
Particular speciality: granitic pluton-related mineralization.
Research commencing 08/96: Chemistry of 'evolved ' granites and associated mineralization in northern Goiás; granites and their peripheral gold mineralization in Mato Grosso, Brasil, in cooperation with UnB colleagues Nilson F. Botelho and Márcia Abrahão Moura.
Collaboration on other projects: Investigation of volcanogenic massive sulphide mineralization and skarn tin/gold in the southern Yukon, Canada (with exploration companies).
Tertiary Education:
BSc in geology and geophysics, Sydney, Australia. Conferred 1965.
Bsc (Hons) in Economic Geology, Adelaide. Conferred 1968.
PhD: Royal Holloway, University of London. Conferred 1993. Thesis: 'Tectonics and metallogeny of the Thirtymile Range, Yukon Territory, Canada'.
Professional Membership:
Fellow of the Geological Society of London
Member of the Geological Society of America
Professional Experience:
1994-1995: Museum of North Devon, Barnstaple, Devon, U.K.
Geologist: Organization of geological collections, design of displays, design and construction of geological models, presentation of lectures.
1988-1993: Research at Royal Holloway, University of London. A combined petrological, structural and geochemical study of part of the Dorsey terrane, plutons and associated tin and tungsten skarn mineralization. A PhD degree was awarded in 1993.
1990-1988: Self-employed as a contracting/consulting geologist on exploration projects for base metals, tungsten, barytes, hardrock and placer gold and uranium in north-western Canada.
1974-1979: Employed by Union Carbide Corporation to work on tungsten exploration programmes in northern Canada during the short summers and on exploration for tungsten, manganese, uranium, or quartz in Greenland, Brasil, Norway, and Portugal and as mine geologist at Pine Creek, California during the winters.
1973: Supervision of civil engineering work in Britain
1971-1972: Employed by Union Carbide Corporation in Australia as a field geologist on uranium exploration in the Northern Territory.
1968-1970: Employed by a consortium of large mining companies to map and prospect much of a 2000 square mile exploration licence in northern Queensland. VMS-type, porphyry-type and precious-metal stockwork mineralization was investigated. During the latter part of the 'nickel-boom'in W.A. I supervised drilling of ultrabasics.
1966-1967: The Electrolytic Zinc Corp. employed me for geological mapping, geochemical and geophysical interpretation and supervision of drilling on a large exploration project for (VMS) base metals in southern new South Wales. During 1967, I investigated vein-type uranium mineralization in central South Australia and a petrological/geochemical study of the Crocker's Well deposits were used for an honour's thesis at Adelaide University.
1965: With the consultants R.Hare and Associates I mapped part of the Herberton Tinfield, Queensland and investigated all accessible mine workings in order to develop a metallogenic model to aid prospecting, investigated beach and dune heavy mineral concentrations in the Northern Territory, and mapped copper prospects in the Pilbara region of Western Australia.
1964: After completing university studies a few months were spent with the Bureau of Mineral Resources in Canberra learning the techniques of Engineering Geology on damsites.
