Mineralisation
 

This section of the site will contain a few tales about my time as a geologist working in mineral exploration.

 

1. The story of the highest gold and silver mine in the world -  The Choquelimpie mine.

 
2. 'A Geological Model for the Alluvial Gold Environment', work for which derives from the time I worked for Rio Tinto and Billiton Metals. It provides quantitative and semi-quantitative parameters to help prospect for deposits of gold in river and other gravels.
 
3. The story of the Andacollo Gold Mine near La Serena, Chile.
