Management
| Rob Shives P.Geo. Vice President of Exploration and Director Mr. Shives has been a director of GWR since 2009 and was previously a member of GWR's Advisory Board since 2007. He is a geologist with over 30 years post-graduate (Carleton, 1979) experience in private exploration and public sectors, in a variety of gold (vein, porphyry and epithermal) and uranium environments, with emphasis on application of gamma-ray spectrometric techniques to geological mapping and practical exploration for a wide variety of commodities. As Head of the Radiation Geophysics Section, Mineral Resources Division, Geological Survey of Canada (1998 to 2007), Rob managed Section activities including the National Gamma-Ray Spectrometry Program (NATGAM), to ensure ongoing collection of high quality, public domain airborne and ground gamma ray spectrometric data over Canada's landmass. This work included airborne and ground survey design, contract preparation//supervision, data compilation, interpretation and field spectrometric studies in and outside Canada to further develop case histories in established and new geological settings. Rob has presented successful applications as numerous formal published papers, short courses, talks and posters, worldwide. He has been very actively promoting practical application of airborne gamma ray/mag surveys in BC for over 15 years and left GSC in 2007 to start a new consulting firm GamX Inc., to provide clients with interpretation/application of gamma spectrometric and magnetic surveys, training, workshops, and field follow-up supervision. Prior to joining GWR's Advisory Board, Rob worked closely with GWR's field geological team to design the 2005 airborne gamma ray/mag survey of GWR's Lac La Hache Property and to compile and interpret results in the context of a potentially large porphyry Cu-Au system, similar to many of the known deposits throughout BC's prolific Quesnel Trough. |
