| | | Dennis Jones, P. Geo.
Dennis Jones is a geologist who recently retired after working in the minerals industry for almost forty years. His last position was as VP Exploration for Iamgold Corporation, a Canadian gold mining and exploration company active in Africa and South America. Dennis was head of the exploration team that discovered the +3 million ounce Quimsacocha gold deposit in Ecuador. In his role of leading the team, he always stressed the need for exploration, throughout the entire life-cycle of the exploration program, to be carried out to the highest levels of environmental stewardship and social responsibility.
Prior to Iamgold, Dennis was President of GeoQuest International Inc, his own consulting company, which specialized in foreign assignments. He worked on projects on behalf of major and junior exploration companies, financial groups, governments and the Canadian International Development Agency.
Dennis has experience with other consulting companies, notably Watts, Griffis & McOuat Ltd and Derry, Michener & Booth, for which he carried out a wide variety of projects in mineral exploration and mining.
For seven years, Dennis worked with the United Nations as a geologist and project manager involved in gold and base metal exploration programs, mainly in South America, as part of an initiative to build or improve the mining industry of developing countries.
The Iron Ore Company of Canada's mines in northern Quebec were where Dennis started his career in mining, as Mine Geologist.
Dennis is a director of the Prospectors and Developers Association of Canada and is Chair of the PDAC's "Environmental Excellence in Exploration" (E3) committee and the Ad Hoc committee for corporate social responsibility. He recently accepted an invitation to sit on an Advisory Group to the Steering Committee of the Department of Foreign Affairs and International Trade which is organizing a series of national roundtables on corporate social responsibility and the Canadian extractive sector in developing countries.
Dennis is a member of the Association of Professional Geoscientists of Ontario and various other professional organizations.
A feature article in the December issue of In Brief, the PDAC's newsletter, profiled Dennis' interest and involvement in promoting corporate social responsibility in the mining industry.
