 | Geoff Eupene, B.Sc(Hons), FAusIMM, CPGeo, is a Darwin- based geologist. Geoff spent the 1969 field season, his first after graduation from the University of Queensland, looking for uranium in the East Kimberley. In 1970 he joined Geopeko as they started their field work at Ranger. As Mine Geologist, he logged every hole drilled into the Ranger No1 orebody, interpreted the geology, and developed a resource estimate that agreed closely with the total material mined over the following decades. In 1976, he headed the team that discovered the Ranger 68 deposit beneath the Magela floodplains. Geoff worked for Geopeko for over ten years before founding a consulting practice in Darwin in 1980. Eupene Exploration Enterprises Pty Ltd has provided advice and services to many uranium explorers, and assisted in the development of several other mining projects in the NT, including Mount Bonnie silver/ gold deposit, Tanami gold, Goodall gold, Rustlers Roost gold, and Woodcutters base metal projects. Geoff has also acquired a depth of experience in SE Asia. |
