Career Summary
Scott Jackson is a geologist with a background in the mining
industry since 1986 and has quickly developed his skills and
reputation in the field of geostatistics since 1997. He started
his mining career as an underground sampler on the famous Golden
Mile in Kalgoorlie, before studying geology at the University
of Western Australia. Scott commenced his geological career
with Renison Goldfields Consolidated (RGC) in 1990 and subsequently
worked in the Mining and Exploration and Groups of RGC over
a 4 year period.
Scott subsequently held mine geology positions with Placer at
Granny Smith (where he supervised the development phases of
the Sunrise Project and was involved in resource evaluation
and mine geology at Granny Smith) and Boddington Gold Mine.
Scott's experience at Boddington brought him increasingly into
contact with resource estimation issues and geostatistical tools.
Scott was offered a French government scholarship and invited
to the Centre de Geostatistique at Fontainebleau in 1998. He
completed the CFSG post-graduate qualification in geostatistics,
returning to Australia in 1999.
In 1999 he joined the SRK Consulting (Australasia) Pty Ltd.
Geostatistics Group (which was formerly Geoval, a specialist
group of geostatistical consultants). At SRK, Scott held the
position of Senior Consultant, and was involved in a range of
geostatistical studies, with specific experience in gold.
Since the formation of QG in 2001 Scott has continued his consulting
work on a range of commodities, including gold, base metals,
diamonds and tantalum. He has been involved in presentation
of introductory and advanced training, as well as the running
of several management level strategic seminars.
Scott has developed a reputation for communicating geostatistics
and resource risk issues in an understandable and succinct manner
to non-specialists. He has experience of performing bankable
due diligence and various levels of internal audit for companies,
including company wide reviews of practices and establishment
of guidelines and procedures for resource estimation in a corporate
setting.
