In April 2008 Mark left Anglo Coal to work for a private consultancy, Moultrie Database & Modelling (MDM), as the inaugural Manager to their new coal geological modelling division. He is a Competent Person as defined by the JORC Code (for coal and industrial minerals) and has extensive experience in open cut and underground geophysical techniques, coal quality, geotechnical and structural modelling, and scheduling for coal. In October 2010 Mark was appointed Principal Geologist for the Moultrie Database and Modelling and Mark’s extensive geological knowledge and management experience in the coal industry gave him a unique perspective in overseeing the delivery of MDM’s expansion to forty (40) personnel. MDM’s team of geologists and project specialists had extensive experience in delivering geological and management services to the coal and mining industries for projects in Australia, Southern Africa, Indonesia, Mongolia and China. Mark was also seconded (in March 2012) to be Principal Geologist for another Moultrie Group vehicle, Coal Face Resources, a company that holds significant coal tenure ground in Queensland. In December 2012 Mark left the Moultrie Group to establish his own consultancy, ROM Resources Pty Ltd, still specialising in the exploration and evaluation of coal deposits wherever they may occur.
