John is the founder and President of Mira Geoscience. He has extensive mining industry experience as a thought leader in quantitative, multi-disciplinary 3D and 4D interpretation for mineral exploration and geotechnical decision support. He currently leads our technology strategy and our geotechnical business. Early on, as it was being initially developed by researchers in the oil and gas industry, John recognized the value of the “Common Earth Model” concept for building 3D geological models consistent with geological, geophysical, and physical property data.

He brought the same disciplined thinking to integrated modelling in the minerals industry, in the process adapting and marketing a key oil and gas technology as GOCAD Mining Suite, one of Mira Geoscience’s flagship products. More recently, he originated and led our development of the Geoscience ANALYST and Geoscience INTEGRATOR platforms. His current technical focus with customers is in 4D data integration and AI solutions for geotechnical hazard assessment.

Prior to founding Mira Geoscience in 1999, he spent 10 years at the Noranda Technology Centre as a Senior Scientist in their rock mechanics group. He obtained an MSc in Geological Engineering and a PhD in Geophysics from Queen’s University. John is based in Montreal.
