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

Seabee Gold Project in Northern Saskatchewan. I completed the estimate of the mineral resources which led to the financing of the property. The mineral resources at the Santoy were drilled off under my direction during my time with Claude in the 2004-2007 period. The mine has provided employment and training for hundreds of people.

What has been the most memorable experience of your career?

There are so many good memories of different places and nice people. I spent some time in Ukraine and that was quite memorable as I got to see the city, including the Catacombs, Opera, the war memorial, and the titanium statue. Kyiv is (was) beautiful in the spring with the chestnut trees in blossom. Another memorable experience was in Eastern Turkey during the Iraq war when I was accused of being an Israeli spy. Another memorable experience was in Sri Lanka when I got back to the hotel and found out what land leaches are. I can remember being on the side of a mountain in BC and in Gaspe wondering how to move without falling. That memory wakes me up sometimes.
