Meet The Technical Team

Having been on the former Warrior Gold technical team, Mr. Kilbourne graduated from the University of Western Ontario in 1985 with an Honours BSc. in Geology. His first field season was in 1980, representing over 40 years in the industry. Mr. Kilbourne’s career has involved holding various executive positions for junior resource companies, gold production geologist for open pit, underground bulk and narrow vein mining, and long term mine planning for the 10+ simultaneous US aggregate operations. He has supervised and managed over 150,000 meters of diamond drilling in Archean precious and base metal projects. Recent work for a private firm included generating over 700 exploration targets across North America and Mexico.

Drake Hyden holds a H.BSc. In Earth and Environmental Sciences from Carleton University, Ottawa Canada. His MSc. project is focused on determining the structural controls on high-grade gold mineralization at Gold Terra Resources Corp.’s Yellowknife City Gold Project (YCGP), Northwest Territories.  Drake worked as an exploration geologist with Gold Terra’s YCGP for three years. Following that, Drake worked as a project geologist for Pure Gold on the Madsen project in Red Lake, Ontario to further expand the underground resource and delineate current and future surface exploration targets. Drake continued his exploration work with Aurion Resources Ltd. and worked on all aspects of the exploration program in Finland including regional to detailed prospect scale geological and structural mapping, drill planning, core logging, QA/QC, data compilation and reporting.

Ms. Spethmann has over 30+ years’ experience in northern Ontario, Canada and internationally in Latin American and Botswana including senior geologist and principal on two projects with significant discoveries (Choco 10 - Carolina Zone and Fruta del Norte) in Venezuela and in Ecuador. Companies she has worked with include IAMGOLD, African Copper, Aurelian Resources and Bolivar Goldfields. Ms. Spethmann studied geology at the University of Ottawa and recently completed the Mining Management Certificate at Ryerson University. She is a member of the Association of Professional Geoscientists Ontario
 

Mr. Doerner has 40+ years’ experience in geophysical data acquisition and interpretation for mining applications on a global basis. Experienced in interpreting EM, IP, resistivity, gravity and magnetic geophysical responses over many types of mineral occurrences including VMS deposits, porphyry systems, kimberlite pipes, IOCG systems and Carlin-type deposits. As an independent consultant, his client list includes Barrick, Vale, RTX and Teck as well as many junior exploration companies. Bill completed his BS and MS degrees at the University of Utah.

Dr. Montreuil has over a decade of experience exploring and characterizing complex hydrothermal systems associated with critical and precious metals. He has contributed significantly to the advancement of Red Pine’s Wawa Gold Project, including the discovery of the Minto Mine Deposit. He holds a Ph.D. in Earth Sciences from INRS–ETE in Quebec City and continues to pursue active scientific research. His collaborations included work with the Geological Survey of Canada, the Bureau de Recherches Géologiques et Minières (BRGM), the Geological Survey of South Australia, BHP–Olympic Dam, the University of Windsor, and Laurentian University. Dr. Montreuil has also contributed to the industry through multiple publications in international, peer-reviewed journals in geology.
