Mr Niilo Taipale is our latest Exploration Geologist joining our team now in October. Before joining GeoPool, Niilo has since 2016 been actively working in exploration programs for example in the Vihanti-Pyhäsalmi Zn-Cu Belt, in the Central Lappland Greenstone Belt (Au), in the Peräpohja Cu-Co-Au area and in the Koillismaa layered intrusion area (Ni-Cu-PGE). Niilo graduated from the University of Oulu with the M.Sc. thesis; Mineralogy of the Paleoproterozoic Raja, Au-Co prospect, Northern Finland. In addition to drilling supervision, drillcore logging and mapping he is also experienced in low impact soil sampling and biogeochemical exploration (pXRF).
GeoPool is very pleased to welcome a new staff member to our team. As of 1st of August, Terhi Salo has started working in the company as a senior geologist providing tenement management and geological services. She has 15 years of exploration and permitting experience in the mining and metals industry.
GeoPool is pleased to announce it has opened a new office in Vantaa on 1st of September 2019. Our new office is in the Technopolis Aviapolis business center, which is conveniently situated near Helsinki-Vantaa Airport.
We are very proud to welcome Juhani Ojala to be part of our GeoPool team from the 1st of March.
We are looking for eager geology students to join us for field work this summer. Your responsibilities will be soil/till sampling and geological mapping. Other tasks may become relevant. Work site is in Finland but Sweden and Norway might as well come to consideration. Working period is mainly June-August.
GeoPool is happy to announce a new staff member. As of April 3rd 2017, Ms. Jutta Forsell started working in the company as a Database Geologist. Jutta graduated in 2005 from the University of Helsinki with a Master’s Degree in Geology and has 15 years of experience in working in the Mining and Metals industry.
GeoPool will be attending PDAC International Convention, Trade Show & Investors Exchange 05-08.03.2017 in Toronto Canada. The annual PDAC convention is a world leading event for people, companies and organizations in, or connected with, mineral exploration. PDAC promotes a globally responsible, vibrant and sustainable minerals industry. PDAC also encourages best practices in technical, operational, environmental, safety and social performance.
This week GeoPool has been mapping more than 5000 meters of drill core with our ASD Terraspec® to determine alteration patterns in a mineralized system. Topaz – which is one of the alteration products at our project – has a diagnostic feature at 2080 nm. The feature occurs as a “dip” in the spectrum as certain molecular bonds of the mineral absorbs these specific wavelengths. Topaz is easily detected even at very low proportions.
The season of winter is upon us, but next field season is already lurking around the corner. This is the time to review past work and plan for future. Are You ready for field season 2017?
The crew at GeoPool wants to wish all our friends and clients Happy Holidays and a Prosperous New Year!
