• Dr David Lindley is a +40 year experienced exploration geologist in Papua New Guinea with short periods of exploration in the Solomon Islands and Vanuatu. He was instrumental in the discovery of the giant Wafi porphyry deposit and the Wamum porphyry prospect (both in 1978), the Mt Sinivit gold deposits (1983), the Mt Nakru porphyry prospect (1984) and the Townsville deposit near the Ok Tedi copper mine (1988). His specialisation in mapping and understanding of Tertiary volcanic systems resulted in significant advancements in the understanding of gold occurrence on the 130 year old Woodlark Island goldfield (1992 & 2018). David has literally single-handedly advanced the geology and mineralisation of the Company’s Mt Suckling project over a 33 year period from 1988, and many prospects owe their discovery to his pioneering geological work in the area. He is extensively published on the geology, tectonics and mineralisation of Papua New Guinea. He has published a book on the gold mining and first contact history of the Keveri and Ada’u Valleys in Mt Suckling region (2018) and his most recent paper (November 2021) is a ground-breaking contribution on jade occurrence in the New Guinea Mobile Belt.
