Craig Richardson BSc, P.Geo.
Project Geologist
Craig received his BSc in Geology from the University of Calgary in 2011. He completed his undergraduate thesis on the greenschist/amphibolite rocks around the 777 VMS deposit Flin Flon, Manitoba. He has been a registered member of the Association of Professional Engineers and Geoscientists of Alberta (APEGA) since 2011 and a Professional Geoscientist (P.Geo.) since 2021.
Craig joined APEX in March 2020 and worked on numerous mineral systems including VMS, Au-Ag epithermal, porphyry, sedimentary-hosted uranium, vein-hosted uranium, carlin-type gold, polymetallic shales, carbonatite REE, and orogenic gold deposits. With over 10 years of Canadian and International mineral exploration experience (SE Asia and USA), he has managed programs from grassroots to evaluation stage projects and has supervised many field-based mapping, trenching, logging, geophysics, sampling, and drilling programs and has contributed to numerous data compilations, NI 43-101, and assessment reports.
