Silas L. Goetz

M.S. in Geology

Summary

I discovered my passion for geology after talking with a local consultant in mineral exploration and mining. I decided to pursue my undergraduate degree in geology at the University of Wyoming where I was fortunate to work with Dr. Simone Runyon studying the Pumpkin Hollow deposit as an undergraduate. This research experience coupled with my industry experience working as w88 casino games logina Geotech for Hard Rock consulting motivated me to pursue a master's degree. In addition to geology, I enjoy fly fishing, backpacking, and hunting.

Throughout the duration of my master's program at the University of Nevada, Reno, I will work with Round Mountain Gold Corporation studying the Gold Hill deposit, which is a low- sulfidation epithermal Au-Ag proximal to the world class Round Mountain low-sulfidation epithermal Au-Ag system. Throughout my master's program I will contribute to the exploration model of Gold Hill and ultimately aid w88 online casinothe exploration team in exploration vectoring of other deposits in the district, using a variety of field and analytical methods.
