Round Up has officially started! Andy Randell-Kilby is co-hosting the student short course with AME President and CEO Kendra Johnston. This year is different but this networking event is providing a great opportunity for students hoping to enter the mining and exploration sectors.

It’s very important that you send your best representative to a business meeting. Thanks for visiting Riggins.

Employee of the month. Field work in the snow is always better with a friend. Addie is the best!

The "cosy reading nook" of the office has become the "industrial sample processing zone" for the summer! Great to see the volume of interesting rocks coming through though!

Some great epithermal veins with magnetite, iron oxides, cinnabar quartz and pyrrhotite from a site in SE British Columbia!

More pics from the field! This time we were prospecting for gold but found some unexpected copper! Goes to show that regional maps are not always 100% accurate and often generalized, so boots on the ground is the best way to know what you have!

Trekking through fire burn looking for elusive outcrop near Chasm!

Having adventures high up in the Fraser Canyon back country, looking for a lost gold mine!

Next up, our geos were on site in the Iskut region prospecting for our client ...

Realized we have not been posting much on here, but field season got crazy! We have had teams out all over British Columbia on a variety of projects! Here are some sites we were exploring near Penticton and finding cool leaf fossils and basalt flows!

Our client is expanding their project, and as such as we are looking for two BC-based people to work on a soil sampling project. The project is located in near Prince George and you would be joining our existing crew on the client site. Candidates who are ok with completing soil sampling, confident in the outdoors and self-starters are key. Driving licence and any level of First Aid is also a bonus. Contact Jennifer with your resume at [email protected] if you are interested and available!

Three teams out in three areas of British Columbia looking at three very different mineral systems! With the elevated gold price it is looking like a busy season with lots of activity well into the fall. We are still taking resumes as we have a couple more projects in the pipeline and so may need additional help. Soil sampling, mapping and fly camp experience all useful! If you are interested, please send your details to Jen at [email protected]! Cheers!... Andy

These two key team members are ready to hit the field!

Do you like dogs? Do you want a summer adventure? Our friends at Muktuk in Yukon are looking for summer volunteers as COVID has impacted travel for their international volunteer groups. Great experience to be outdoors and spend some months in Yukon! It is hard work but extremely rewarding! We have visited them many times and support local businesses where we can in the communities we work. If you would like to know more, reach out to them via their Facebook page or Website.... https://www.facebook.com/MuktukAdventures/

Can you pass the 1971 @ubceoas examination on resource modeling? We found this amongst other course notes that geologist Peter Christopher completed during his degree at UBC. These are now part of our Legacy Collection which we are curating and conserving!
