Following on from GAC-MAC in Quebec City and a post-conference visit to Voisey’s Bay, I visited a number of institutions and companies in southern Canada with my UWA – Centre for Exploration Targeting hat on. A visit to Thunder Bay gave me an opportunity to present ideas to a very fired-up audience of industry geologists and prospectors at a CIM meeting on Friday, June 6.
Thanks guys for the warm reception and the great feedback. Feel free to contact me if you wish to follow up further on any of the questions.

Focused on examples from Australia where conductive regolith causes significant problems for TEM exploration, these case studies continue to have wide application for global nickel exploration. This presentation was given at the SEG conference in the USA, in 2001. The presentation has been split into two for file size reasons.

This presentation ‘Innovative EM exploration in underground mine settings – Long Victor mine, Kambalda” was given at the AIG conference in Kalgoorlie, Western Australia in 2006. This exploration led to the discovery of significant new reserves and a major boost to mine life.

This presentation was given at the Kalgoorlie 2007 “Old ground. New knowledge” conference in Kagoorlie, Western Australia in September 2007.
Its focus is squarely on the targeting and identification from early mineralisation indicators of a new nickel camp.

My 2008 paper, ‘Palaeoproterozoic Ni–Cu–PGE mineralisation in the Shakespeare intrusion, Ontario, Canada: a new style of Nipissing gabbro-hosted mineralisation’, published in the Transactions of the IMM, describes a novel type of base metal-PGE mineralisation with significant economic implications.
