About Us

ioGlobal People:

Dave has expertise in all aspects of exploration geochemistry. Management experience includes Coordinator of multi-commodity geochemical research conducted globally and Principal Geochemist with major exploration groups with a worldwide focus. Providing expertise to maximise users ability to acquire, manage and interpret geochemical data and thereby accelerate the discovery of large, profitable orebodies.

Prior to joining ioGlobal, Dave was Global Coordinator of Geochemistry for Anglo American in Vancouver, and in the years before that was Chief Geochemist with Pasminco Exploration.

Tim is a computer geologist with over 20 years experience in both geology and computing applications within the exploration and mining industries, with particular experience in database management.

Tim has an in-depth knowledge of the acQuire database system and implementation process, as well as SQL Server, Datashed, Access, Datamine, Vulcan and Arcview.

Che is a geologist with over 6 years experience in the exploration industry. He has significant experience with data management, a strong background in GIS, and experience in field data collection, laboratory processing and resource modelling. Previously Che has worked for Pasminco Project Generation and in mineral sands with Bemax Resources.

Dennis has more than 25 years experience in applied geochemistry, both in Canada and Australia. Areas of interest include lithogeochemistry, biogeochemistry, soil geochemistry, hydrogeochemistry and thermochronology. In recent years he has been involved as a consultant in the development of geochemical programs for gold exploration, has undertaken a number of environmental soil and water assessments, and was formerly Senior Geochemist with Geoscience Victoria. He is a member of the Australian Institute of Geoscientists and a Registered Professional Geoscientist (Geochemistry), as well as a member of the Association of Applied Geochemists.

Mike has been involved in the exploration and mining industry for 10 years. His undergraduate training was in geology and chemistry, after which he worked for Pasminco Exploration in both mining and exploration roles. Since then, Mike has completed a PhD focusing on detecting and quantifying the degree of alteration using geochemical data in and around major ore systems. This expertise has been applied to a variety of deposit types in varying geological settings. Examples include: sediment hosted base metals, porphyry copper, Irish-style Pb-Zn, iron oxide copper and manto deposits. Mike consults for ioGlobal in a wide range of geochemical areas. He is a member of the Association of Applied Geochemists, the Royal Australian Chemical Institute and the Geological Society of Australia.

Steve is an exploration geologist with over 20 years experience, exploring for a wide variety of commodities including Gold, Base Metals, Uranium, Iron Ore and Diamonds, throughout Australia, PNG and New Zealand, in projects ranging from conceptual grass roots exploration through to mining operations. He has extensive experience in the design and implementation of geochemical exploration programs and the interpretation of geochemical data. He is also a Fellow of the Society of Economic Geologists and a member of the Aus.I.M.M. and AIG.

Sophie Alexander graduated from La Trobe University with a Bachelor of Science majoring in geology. She began her working life as a mine geologist for Hamersley Iron at their Brockman and Marandoo sites. During her travels overseas she worked with Ashton Mining of Canada on their diamond projects in the Northwest Territories and upon returning to Australia worked at the McArthur River Pb-Zn mine in the Northern Territory. After moving to Pasminco Ltd in 1998 she began to specialise in GIS and exploration database management. During her years at Encom Technology Sophie helped to develop their Discover suite of products which included testing, documentation, training, sales and technical support duties. This experience has proved invaluable in her current roles at ioGlobal as the ioGAS Product Manager and as a senior GIS consultant.

Alan spent 5 years involved in grassroots regional exploration and near mine resource development, mainly in gold but also for PGMs and other metals.

Alan also recently completed a business degree that complements his technical skills.

Mia has an Information Technology degree from Curtin University WA, providing him with excellent technical and analytical skills. He is a client focused and committed team member.

Gary joined ioGlobal in 2005 in a part time capacity while completing studies. Gary has excellent technical computing skills and continues to expand his knowledge of mining and exploration applications.
