We have a proven track record:

• Over the last ten years we have helped more than fifty companies pursue exploration programs and opportunities globally.
• The resulting rewards include the largest gold-copper skarn discovery in the Americas and major nickel and gold discoveries in Australia.
• Over 500 students have attended our popular Senior Exploration Management (SEM) Course which, by many accounts, ranks as “one of the best”.
• We offer the SEM Course annually in Perth WA and Denver CO, and we also offer the Course in-house for clients who want a course tailored to their strategy and exploration program.
• We are developing an on-line Mineral Exploration Management Manual that will track the SEM Course and that will quickly become a unique valuable resource for exploration groups worldwide.
