Geologists / Advisors

Mr. John A. Roozendaal, B.Sc. Geol.
President and Director

John is a founder of the company and is active in the boardroom and on our numerous field projects, working closely with our project geologists. He has experience exploring for a variety of base and specialty metals. Of particular significance were exploration programs for nickel in the Thompson Nickel Belt of Manitoba and for high-grade shear-hosted gold in the Yellowknife gold camp.

Dr. George H. Gale B.A. (Ed.), B.Sc., M.Sc., Ph.D.
Vice President of Exploration, Director

George joined the Company’s exploration team as Vice President of Exploration in January, 2005. He has over 40 years of experience in the field of geology, focused on mineral deposits and exploration techniques, and primarily on the Volcanogenic Massive Sulphide (VMS) deposit types. In 1977, George was appointed head of the Mineral Deposits Section at the Manitoba Geological Survey. He leads the Company's exploration committee to determine strategies and activities for each of the Company's projects.

His extensive knowledge of the geology of Manitoba is proving to be a significant advantage for VMS Ventures Inc. on its Manitoba properties. His expertise in VMS deposits will be of particular importance to the development of the new Snow Lake properties and our other VMS properties.

Dr. Mark Fedikow, HBSc., M.Sc., Ph.D., P.Eng., P.Geo., C.P.G.
Vice President of Technical Services
 

Mark has 33 years of industry and government experience as an exploration geochemist and mineral deposits geologist. He has worked for major and junior mining exploration companies and the Manitoba Geological Survey completing his employment at the Survey as Chief Geologist of the Mineral Deposits Section. In 2001 Mark was the recipient of the Provincial Geologists Medal, a Canadian national award for outstanding geoscientific achievement. He has successfully applied partial and selective extraction geochemical technologies including the Mobile Metal Ions Process (MMI) in exploration programs for lode and placer gold, base metal massive sulphides,

platinum group metals, magmatic nickel-copper, porphyry copper deposits and kimberlite / carbonatite in a variety of geological settings and overburden environments. Mark has published numerous articles on mineral deposits and their geochemical expressions in rock, soil and vegetation sample media. He is a Fellow of the Association of Applied Geochemists

Mr. Mike Muzylowski,
Advisory Board Member

Mike Muzylowski, Callinan Mines Ltd. (CAA-TSX.V) accomplished President and CEO, has played key roles in the discovery of 15 Canadian mines, 13 in Manitoba, during his distinguished career as a geologist, geophysicist and senior mining executive.
 

Mr. Greg Hill, M.Sc. Geol., CPG
Advisory Board Member

Mr. Hill’s exploration experience includes completing regional geochemical surveys for the USGS; geologic modeling for Barrick Goldstrike Mines at the Meikle mine; and two years as a project geologist for Santa Fe Pacific Gold Corp where he worked on various gold properties, including Twin Creeks, Trenton Canyon, Valmy mines, and Battle Mountain exploration projects. Mr. Hill has also conducted generative exploration in Northern Nevada for Cambior and spent eight years consulting for exploration and development projects located in North and South America, Australia, Africa, and Europe. Much of his experience has been focused on orientation soil surveys at covered gold and base metals deposits in Nevada and elsewhere.
