Dani Alldrick has spent many years mapping and studying mineral deposits in west central BC, particularly in the area around Eskay Creek and Anyox and more recently in the Ecstall VMS Belt.

Laura deGroot is the MINFILE/ARIS Database Administrator.  She is responsible for maintaining the mineral inventory databases and the BC Geological Survey website.

Pat Desjardins has worked for the BC Geological Survey for 18 years. He began as a regional mapper and mapped the Babine and Telkwa range around Smithers. He is currently the GIS specialist in the branch and provides support to the MapPlace as well as other related GIS needs for the BC Geological Survey.

Larry Diakow has spent twenty-three years mapping in British Columbia with an emphasis on Mesozoic and Cenozoic arc magmatism and associated epithermal and porphyry systems.

Brian Grant is the Director of Geoscience Initiatives. Has over 20 years industry experience managing exploration for a wide variety of commodities including diamonds, nickel, uranium and base metals in North America and overseas. He has worked with the BC Geological Survey for over 10 years.

Kirk Hancock is the MINFILE geologist.

Larry Jones is the manager of the "MapPlace", the Branch's internet-based, GIS system which provides access to BC geospatial data to clients, including mining and exploration companies, government, universities and prospectors.  He provides leadership for other geospatial databases such as mineral inventory, coal data, exploration and coal reports, geochemical data, and publication indexes.

Dave Lefebure is the Director and Chief Geologist of the BC Geological Survey.  He has more than 20 years experience with mineral deposit studies, regional geoscience surveys and mineral exploration in British Columbia, Ontario and Quebec.

Andrew Legun specializes in geological mapping, coal and coal related research. Has worked as a District Geologist. Andrew has carried out geological mapping in the Peace River coalfield and northern Rockies ( with GSC). Assisted in Northern Kechika Trough project (sedex) and compilation mapping in area of Sustut copper deposit. Sub-basin recognition in Aldridge Fm. (Sullivan target) and worked on the Howell Creek structure in southeast BC. Geologic Reconnaissance of Wokkpash park proposal area. 

Ray Lett specializes in the applications of exploration geochemistry to the discovery of new mineral resources. Previous projects, many of which have involved detailed geochemical sampling in areas of high mineral potential, focused on exploration targets such as SEDEX, VMS and gold and PGE bearing vein deposits.

Jim Logan has completed regional mapping and mineral deposit studies in the Telegraph Creek-Iskut River and Schaft Creek areas of northern BC and the Goldstream area of southern BC. His current project is a study of the geologic setting and controls to mineralization for intrusion related gold occurrences throughout BC.

Nick Massey has mapped areas favourable for VMS deposits on Vancouver Island and in northern BC. Recent projects have involved provincial scale thematic overviews of the potential for Eskay Creek and SEDEX massive sulphide deposits, new aggregate resources. He is currently working on the digital geological compilation map for BC.

Gib McArthur is the Director of Resource Information.

Mitch Mihalynuk has completed mapping projects in the Haines Triangle (Windy Craggy), Llewellyn gold belt, Tulsequah VMS camp and the Atlin and Dease gold camps of northern BC with emphasis on structural and stratigraphic controls to mineralization. Mitch is currently working on the Atlin Targeted Geoscience Initiative.

Joanne Nelson has mapped important mineral deposit camps in central and northern BC including the Silvertip and Cassiar camps; Takla Group rocks at Mt. Milligan and in the Nations Lake area and, most recently, as co-leader of the Ancient Pacific Margin Natmap Project, favourable host rocks for VMS deposits in the Finlayson Lake belt.

Graham Nixon has mapped favourable host rocks for porphyry Cu, skarn and epithermal Au deposits as part of the Northern Vancouver Island project, has studied PGE occurrences associated with Alaskan-type ultramafic-mafic complexes in northern BC and is now working on the PGE potential of alkaline intrusive complexes and Cu-Au porphyry deposits throughout BC.

Bruce Northcote is the Regional/Staff Geologist based in the Vancouver Mineral Development Office.

Paul Schiarizza has completed detailed bedrock mapping in the Taseko Lakes-Bridge River, Adams Plateau, Takla Lake areas of BC with a focus on the statigraphic and structural setting of VMS, Sedex and Au bearing vein occurrences. He is currently working in the Little Fort - Canim Lake area of central BC.

Tom Schroeter is the Manager of the Vancouver Mineral Development Office and is Senior Regional Geologist with the BC Geological Survey.  He has worked in the Branch for 30 years, including 13 years as District Geologist based in Smithers, prior to opening the Vancouver office in 1986.  He has visited most significant mineral deposits in the province and maintained rock sample and photograph suites of them for use by future explorers.  He is a tireless stimulator and promoter of the mining industry in British Columbia.

George Simandl is the branch industrial mineral and gemstones specialist. George has focused on the geology and marketing of a wide variety of industrial mineral deposit types throughout BC and is currently monitoring new developments in the industry. 

Allan Wilcox is the contact for all aspects of mineral industry Assessment reporting. Allan has worked on the development and implementation of the ARIS database system, and recently initiated scanning and delivery of the assessment report library via digital files on the Ministry website.
