DR PETER GREGORY

PRINCIPAL GEOLOGIST
[email protected]
Specialisation

Peter has over 30 years’ experience in project generation, appraisal, management and discovery from grassroots to feasibility. He has a strong discovery history in base metals and coal with multi commodity experience in Australia and overseas including base metals, gold, copper-gold, magmatic copper-nickel-PGE, coal and bauxite. As our Principal Geologist, Peter has a good working knowledge of Australian geology, terranes and tectonic evolution especially the Proterozoic and Palaeozoic terrains of Central and Eastern Australia. Peter specialises in IOCG, BHT, VHMS, SEDEX, porphyry copper-gold, magmatic copper-nickel, epithermal and IRG deposits, coal in Bowen, Galilee and Surat Basins. He also has experience in the management of and evaluation of coal, base metals and gold projects and open file and GIS syntheses and targeting. Peter is experienced in, and is great at, mentoring younger geologists within the industry.

Some of Peter’s skills include project planning and management, detailed and regional mapping, GIS-based data analysis, seismic interpretation, project due diligence and open file assessments, project and tenure generation, geotechnical studies in coal and base metals, independent geologist reports and mentoring of younger geologists.
