What was the most fulfilling project you ever worked on, and why?

When with Rio Algom, working on the financial analysis for the Antamina Project in Peru that led to Rio Algom acquiring an interest in the project. It has turned out to be a great mine.

What advice would you give to someone who is considering a career in the mineral industry?

One piece of advice is take full advantage of your educational experience. Your profs or teachers want you to learn as much as possible don't pass up on that opportunity. When working, take advantage of any opportunities to broaden your knowledge and experience. Ask lots of questions and listen to the answers.
