From Concept to Discovery - Using geoscience to target and discover

Presenting at the launch of the Institute, Allan Kneeshaw, explorer with 30 years’ experience in gold and base metals exploration, provided valuable insights on using advanced geoscience to target resource discovery. Allan played an important role as part of De Grey Mining's exploration team that discovered the 11.2 million ounce Hemi gold deposit in the Pilbara, which was subsequently acquired by Northern Star in a $5bn take over of De Grey Mining.
