ABOUT MATTHEW BODNAR

Integrated multi-disciplinary mineral exploration data analysis and targeting strategy with a specialization in exploration geochemical methods in covered terrain utilizing terrain mapping, quaternary geology and the principles of landscape geochemistry. Significant experience in the exploration for polymetallic magmatic Ni-Cu-PGE deposits with an interest in maximizing field programs through the integration of emerging analytical and geospatial technologies. M.Sc. research investigating integration of landscape evolution into exploration geochemistry in covered glaciated terrains. Special consideration for polymetallic VMS (Zn, Pb, Cu, Ag) deposit covered by glacial sediment.Drawing on over 17 years of experience in the mineral exploration and mining industries including 5 years in applied ML geoscience consulting and over 6 years with a major mining group has fostering a keen sense of industry best practices. A unique, humble and diverse background of experiences provides respectful communication will all members of the exploration team. A solid education and a focus on integrated geoscientific critical thinking leverages both old-school and modern digital methods alike. Experience includes grass-roots generative through to advanced deposit definition spanning North America.Highlights:Magmatic Sulphide Nickel, Copper, Platinum, Palladium (Ni-Cu-PGE) experience in Manitoba, Nunavut, Quebec and Ontario. Significant experience with deposit advancement at mature Lac des Illes Pd deposit.Gold (Au) exploration in Proterozoic supracrustal belts of Nunavut.Sediment hosted Zn, Pb, Ag experience in north Selwyn Basin, Yukon,(Tom-Jason Deposit)Cu-Mo-Au Porphyry experience in Alaskan Cretaceous porphyry belt and Tintic Mining District, Utah, USA.Uranium exploration in the Proterozoic basins of the Northwest Territories.
