As a founding partner with Condor Consulting, Michel has over 40 years of experience in the minerals exploration industry in a variety of technical and management roles with extensive background in geophysical operations, both in North America and overseas. Michel's introduction to minerals exploration started in the late 70's at an exploration camp located in Cheticamp, Nova Scotia with Utah International. He subsequently became involved in geophysical exploration programs throughout eastern and western Canada. In 1985 an opportunity took him to the state of Maine where he was involved with the discovery of the Alder Pond massive sulfide deposit with BHP Minerals. This followed with extended projects throughout the south eastern U.S.A. And finally, still with BHP, being located to Denver, Colorado until 1999.
