Peter's commitment and determination to succeed in the mining industry is in his blood.  As a mine shovel mechanic’s son, Peter spent his childhood growing up in the mining town of Cassiar, BC. He began underground drilling at Snip Gold Mine when he was just 17 years old and transitioned through all aspects of mine operations and mineral exploration; from driller's helper to blasters helper, underground and surface driller, road building to grader operator, and drill project supervisor.  Peter's 32 years of “boots on the ground” experience and savvy outside-the-box ideas allow him to solve unconventional in-the-field challenges quickly. Peter has been able to successfully execute many challenging drill programs with reduced expenditures and above projected meters/day. Peter prides himself on completing a job well and on time, regardless of how challenging it becomes, and stands behind a zero-failure rate.
