He has authored numerous papers on uranium exploration and uranium deposits presented to, among others, the Canadian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy, the American Nuclear Association, the Royal Society (of London), the Institution of Mining and Metallurgy and the Mineralogical Society of Canada. He has also served as a Board Member/Director with the Canadian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy, Geological Association of Canada, B.C. and Yukon Chamber of Mines and the Canadian Geoscience Council. He is a registered P.Geo. (B.C.) and P.Eng (Ont.), a Fellow of the Society of Economic Geologists, a Fellow of the Geological Association of Canada, a member of the Prospectors and Developers Association of Canada and the Association for Mineral Exploration BC.
Dr. Gerald Carlson
Dr. Carlson has been involved for over 35 years in managing mineral exploration and mining development companies. His experience has focused on precious and base metal deposits around the Pacific Rim, including western North America, Mexico, Central America, South America, Australia and Asia. This experience has included independent consulting assignments, management of major company exploration programs, junior mining companies and university level teaching.

Mr. Netolitzky has Snip, Eskay Creek, and Brewery Creek gold mines to his credit and he is one of a handful of Canadian explorationists acknowledged as a successful mine finder and developer.

Dr. Romberger, Emeritus Professor, Colorado School of Mines, has over 40 years of national and international experience in teaching, research, and consulting at the university level and in the corporate setting. He has demonstrated knowledge in a wide range of hydrothermal mineral deposits including, but not limited to uranium, precious metals, and copper. He has served as a consultant to a wide range of companies, including AREVA and CAMECO, the two the largest nuclear power and world uranium producers. His greatest impact has been through in-house workshops and short courses on the application of geochemical models to exploration where his objective was to impart useful, but sometimes complex, geochemical approaches to practicing exploration geologists, that give them a broader set of tools to help in understand the processes responsible for the formation of low temperature and hydrothermal mineral deposits.
