Biography

Bruce has a strong mining, geological, hydrogeological and geochemical background with 30 years of experience working as a consultant and working directly for the mining industry. This background has proven to be invaluable for evaluating environmental risk associated with metal leaching / acid rock drainage (ML/ARD), assessing chemical evolution of pit lakes and developing effective science-based remedial measures. Bruce has been responsible for evaluating the geochemical reactivity of tailings and waste rock at numerous mine sites in North America, South America, Europe, Africa, and Southeast Asia. Direct observation and analysis of mine waste and drainage chemistry from operating and abandoned mines combined with the knowledge regarding geochemical testing protocols and their limitations is critical for conducting geochemical characterization studies and independent technical reviews. The cumulative breadth of knowledge and experience gained during the past 30 years has been directly applied in the development and review of mine waste management and mine decommissioning plans on behalf of mining clients and government regulatory agencies.
