His international career spans foreign assignments in 27 countries since 1976, including 12 years based in Southeast Asia, working for both mining companies and international development organizations. His discoveries and strategic insights have extended the life of major mines, such as adding eight years to Falconbridge’s Wesfrob Fe-Cu mine in British Columbia, where production reached 10,000 tpd. His recommendations have also generated exceptional returns, such as the Woodie Woodie manganese mine investment in Australia, which paid back within six months in 1990. He facilitated a billion-dollar acquisition when introducing Homestake to Malaysia Mining Corporation Bhd, resulting in Homestake acquiring a controlling interest in Plutonic Resources Ltd., a 500,000 oz/year gold producer in Australia. His leadership in diamond exploration contributed to the 2000 recovery of the first gem-quality diamond to be cut and displayed in Quebec City, earning his client, Twin Mining Corp, recognition as Quebec Prospector of the Year.
