Alex has managed exploration programs in Zambia and DRC from conceptual target generation through to resource definition drilling for both copper-cobalt and lead-zinc sediment-hosted deposits. He has been based in Zambia since 1999 and led programs for Avmin, Teal, and MMG. Earlier in his career, Alex was a section geologist on a Witwatersrand gold mine before moving into exploration geology in Namibia, where he undertook regional and detailed geochemical and geological mapping programs: the results of which led to planning, implementing and interpreting diamond and percussion drill programs.
Alex holds an MSc in Mining Geology from the Camborne School of Mines.
