Mr. Tewalt is an economic geologist with over 40 years of exploration experience in gold, silver, uranium and base metals with his preferred area of experience and expertise in Nevada. This early work focused primarily on gold, silver and copper exploration and included the discovery of the Montanore copper-silver deposit in Montana.
In 2003, anticipating a rise in uranium prices, Mr. Tewalt formed a private company to assemble uranium resource properties in the southwestern U.S., which became Standard Uranium in 2004. As the uranium market strengthened, he led the company’s shift from exploration to production through the acquisition of the Palangana deposit and Hobson processing plant in South Texas and brought on ISR pioneer Dr. Dennis Stover to lead operations. Standard Uranium was acquired by Energy Metals Corp.
Mr. Tewalt has been involved in precious and base metal discoveries throughout his career, including Rock Lake (Montanore, Montana, 1984), Lincoln Mine and satellite discoveries (California’s Mother Lode, 1988–1990), Storm (Carlin Trend, Nevada, 1994), Hollister (Northern Nevada Rift, Nevada, 1998), and Cordero (Gallium resource, 2001). He has served as President and CEO of Great Basin Gold, Standard Uranium, Colombian Mines, Nevgold Resources, Wolfpack Gold, and Silver Predator. He is currently Chairman of Silver Predator Corp., a consultant for Galleon Gold and co-owner of Troy Resources LLC.
