About

Chris completed a Master of Science (MSc) in Earth Science in 2023. His research focused on the characterisation of regional strain patterns within the western portion of the Saldania Belt and their implications for the structural evolution of Pan-African rocks in the Western Cape, South Africa. This work provided a strong foundation in structural geology, tectonic analysis, and geological interpretation.

​

Prior to joining RES in June 2025, Chris gained exploration experience across multiple African countries, working on a range of commodities including gold, copper, lithium, and rare earth elements (REEs). His work encompassed field-based exploration, geological interpretation, drill program management, and target evaluation.

​

Since joining RES, Chris has been responsible for the management and supervision of diamond drilling programmes, detailed drill core logging, and the integration of geological and geophysical datasets into three-dimensional geological models for projects within both the Kalahari Copper Belt of Botswana and the Central African Copperbelt in Angola.

​

Chris has a strong technical focus and a particular interest in understanding the relationship between structural architecture and mineral systems. He is passionate about applying structural geology, geological modelling, and integrated data analysis to unravel the controls on mineralisation and improve exploration outcomes.
