Golden Metal Resources plc has engaged modelling geologist Allan V. Moran to advance the company’s Pilot Mountain tungsten project in Nevada, USA.
Mr Moran will model existing tungsten-copper-silver-zinc mineralisation at the site, focusing on the Desert Scheelite zone which hosts the majority of the in-ground resource at Pilot Mountain.
He will plan resource infill as well as step out (down-dip and along strike) drilling for future exploration, looking specifically at drill density required to complete future studies including a preliminary economic assessment and pre-feasibility study.
Mr Moran has spent more than 45 years in mineral exploration, exploration management, and supported corporate acquisitions for both major and junior mining companies.
He specialises in geological evaluations of metal projects with a focus on 3D geological modelling (Leapfrog software), database evaluations, and geological inputs to resource estimation; from due diligence audits to feasibility studies and exploration properties to mining operations.
Mr Moran has a B.Sc. in Geological Engineering from the Colorado School of Mines and is a Certified Professional Geologist (CPG) with the American Institute of Professional Geologists (AIPG).
