Mr. Koehler has over 16 years of mineral exploration experience on the Battle Mountain-Eureka and Carlin gold trends of Nevada. As a senior geologist with the Cortez Joint Venture, he was a member of the exploration team that discovered the +8.0-million-ounce Cortez Hills gold deposit. Under his guidance, project level exploration and drilling identified underground-caliber gold mineralization adjacent to Cortez Hills. Additionally, Mr. Koehler took a lead role in developing and illustrating lower-plate carbonate stratigraphy in the Cortez District. Stratigraphic refinements identified numerous near-mine/generative exploration opportunities and guided geologic reinterpretation of the Pipeline Mine. While with Newmont Mining Corporation on the Carlin Trend, Mr. Koehler is credited with team participation in discovering the +5.0- million-ounce West Leeville deposit, and discoveries at Four Corners and Crow. |
