During his tenure, he managed several large-scale campaigns—including a 90-person remote winter drill camp at the Pine Point Pb-Zn project—and directed exploration and development drilling at the historic Murdochville Cu porphyry-skarn site (in collaboration with Glencore). He has extensive experience in 3D GIS integration and drill-hole targeting using advanced geoscience modelling software. Most recently, Eric served as Project Manager for NioBay Metals, leading a winter drill program on the James Bay carbonatite project, and executed helicopter-supported lithium pegmatite mapping in Greenland for Brunswick Exploration.
