David Slater

For the past 20 years, David has consulted at principal level in project evaluation, mineral resources, and audits, which provided him exposure to many projects in various commodities. David ensures high-quality outcomes by combining his technical experience and leadership abilities; his refined technical and practical geological skills enable him to offer appropriate solutions to clients and provide mentorship to less experienced consultants. David has wide experience in evaluation of projects at all stages of the mining cycle in both open pit and underground operations scenarios, where his strengths include optimisation of operations with regard to sampling, grade control, resource estimation (linear and non-linear), and reconciliation. 

A key element of David’s consulting work is his understanding of process delivery to enable companies to extract maximum value from assets; he has worked at corporate levels to ensure this process is robust and practically achievable. David has completed considerable due diligence and technical reporting over a range of commodities and locations worldwide – these include reporting for the TSX (NI 43-101), SGX, and ASX (JORC Code, 2012).
