Ian is one of a few economic structural geologists in the world who applies his theoretical knowledge to the field of 3D geological modelling. He has worked on numerous projects and worked within Jigsaw with their directors who are very competent structural geologists. A few years ago Ian was responsible for first targeting, and finding, a few million ounces of gold resource in a very mature mining operation. This was done using sound structural geological principles. Ian is highly recommended as a 3D geological modeller and geologist, but I do this on the basis of Ian's sound structural geological knowledge and his ability to apply this knowledge to solving real exploration and mining problems.

      Being so fortunate to work alongside and learn from the best Structural Geologists on the planet, I have shaped my approach based on these learnings. I work to create a consistent geological understanding using balanced section reconstructions to aid the validation of observations on the ground/core/pits etc in order to create a new interpretation. Not everything needs a 3D model to target - more often, a robust geological interpretation will be more effective in regional to area selection for exploration.
