Jim McGill
As Senior Mine Accountant at Yukon Zinc Corporation, I have had much interaction with Randy Bente. I have found Randy to be very capable at solving the problems that routinely occur in a remote site environment, within the Information Tech sphere. Randy's approach to problem solving is calm and serious; I've never seen him stumped or unable to resolve IT issues.
