Dr. Frank Puskas
Dr. Puskas is an honors graduate and holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Geology with a minor in chemistry from McMaster University, a Master of Science degree with a minor in  chemistry from Lehigh University and a PhD from Lehigh University/University of Minnesota.

Dr. Puskas has a proven track record which include 14 discoveries with INCO and Anaconda 
American Brass, of which 10 became productive mines.
Dr. Puskas has over 30 years’ experience in the mining industry; he previously worked for the 
Ontario Department of Mines and the Geological Society of Canada, was a senior staff geologist 
for 23 years with International Nickel Company (INCO) and worked as the senior geologist for 7 
years with Anaconda American Brass where he was charge of exploration in central Canada.
While working with INCO, he reviewed, interpreted, and supervised exploration for all 
commodities worldwide.  Many projects were extensive in area and involved large data sets. 
Many of the geological models developed by Dr. Puskas became the basis from which area 
plays later results.
Dr. Puskas is currently a member of the Prospectors and Developers Association of Canada, 
(PDAC) and has pending professional accreditation with the Association of Geoscientists of 
Ontario.
Large area projects involving large databases which were successfully decoded and modeled by 
Dr. Puskas include the following:

• Noranda – Rouyn entire 35 mine volcanogenic massive sulphides (VMS) Camp; the lead edge VMS model is being reviewed prior to publication
• Discovered Casa Berardi break which led to discovery of the producing mines at Douay  (1.85Moz Au) and the three mines (>3 Moz Au) at Casa Berardi
• Modeled ultramafic komatiitic flows hosting Langmuir (Cu-Ni-Co – PGM) mine and  entire Shaw Dome and Alexo mine
• Modeled INCO’s Widgemootha (4Mt Cu-Ni-Co) mine and entire Kambalda Dome in  Western Australia
• Chester – Osprey Twps studies resulted in first to identify Au – Ag – Mo – Cu sulphide  mineralization as porphyry hosted, study included discovery of open pittable Au deposit  at Cote Lake
• Modeled 50 Mt deposit located north of Voisey’s Bay (150 Mt Cu-Ni-Co) discovery
• Three major discoveries (San Alberto, 1.7 Mt Tepal, 40 Mt El Violin, 75 Mt) with one  producer in the Chilanzingo – Obregon area of the Crystal Lakes, Mexico\modeled and  discovered VMS mineralization north of producing mines at Buchans, Newfoundland
• Modeled Kirkland Lake Au camp, Anoki mine and Upper Canada mine
• Discovered and modeled resurgent cauldera hosting epigenetic Au-Ag mineralization of 2  Mt at Vault, BC
• Identified new resource following modeling of Shebandowan (17 Mt Cu-Ni-Co – PGM)  mine
• Modeled Thompson mine (.80 Mt Cu-Ni-Co-PGM) and Thompson Nickel Belt following  a three year underground study
• Discovered and modeled Marathon Cu-Ni – PGM sulphide deposit of 91 Mt, same model  was successfully applied to Duluth (Minn, USA), Sudbury (ON, CAN), and Stillwater  (Mon, USA)
