CANDIDATE FOR NATIONAL PRESIDENT-ELECT
Candidate for AIPG National President-Elect
Nancy J. Wolverson, CPG-11048 Reno, Nevada
Thank you to the nominating committee for recommending
me for the position of President-Elect for 2020. It would be an honor to continue to serve AIPG advocating for the geologi- cal sciences and ethical conduct throughout the profession of geology. It is important that we increase membership in the AIPG across all aspects of geology by engaging members at all levels of their careers.
Through my positions as Vice President and Executive Committee Advisory Board, it has become clear to me that increasing the membership in AIPG throughout the U.S. is a priority for survival of the organization. The interests of the current membership vary greatly state-to-state, making the message to prospective members complex. With such a broad spectrum of expertise, interests and rea- sons for being members, it will be a challenge to orga- nize a membership drive, but that is exactly what we should do over the next few years.
“ My undergraduate educa-
Kyrgyzstan. The geologic setting was very similar to Nevada’s Basin and Range and it was a fascinating cultural experience. My consulting experience for the next several years included project evaluation in Mexico, exploration and property evalu- ation in Ecuador and exploration/development work in Chile. During these years I also completed my MBA in Finance. In 2004, I returned to Nevada and continued consulting, which included several years in uranium exploration in Nevada, New Mexico, and throughout the Western US. So, 25 years after starting my career in uranium exploration, I had come full circle. The uranium market did not hold up for long and I returned to gold exploration in 2008.
I continued consulting and
tion at Eastern Washington University was well round- ed. Our field camp course was taught in Southern Nevada, where I decided that the geology, wide-open spaces and climate were for me. After graduation, I got a job in Reno, where I then went on to complete by Master’s degree at the Mackay School of Mines, University of Nevada-Reno. In 2001, I completed an MBA in Finance at the University of Missouri-St. Louis.
My professional experience includes experience in a variety
of geologic terranes in the US and at various locales around the world. My career began in the uranium exploration and research industry, and I changed to gold exploration when ura- nium demand declined. I spent most of the 1980’s doing grass roots exploration throughout Nevada during a time of major advances in the understanding of Carlin-style sediment-host- ed and epithermal volcanic-hosted hot spring gold deposits.
In 1989 I took a position with Amax Gold evaluating gold properties for acquisition. After we acquired the Haile Mine in South Carolina, I moved there to manage the exploration, development and then was involved in the prefeasibility study. I spent a year working with a consulting company evaluat- ing gold projects for an international client, where I had the opportunity to work in the Tien Shan Mountains of Eastern

have been exposed to a wide variety of experience. After completing several qualifying Technical Reports for com- pany IPO’s on the Canadian Exchanges, I began working with my current primary cli- ent, Paramount Gold Nevada Corp. Currently, I manage the exploration, compliance and reclamation at the Sleeper Mine in north central Nevada and all permitting activities
at our Grassy Mountain underground gold project in Oregon, through our wholly owned subsidiary, Calico Resources USA Corp.
During my career, I have also had the opportunity to work
with geologists in many specialties; exploration, hydrology, engineering, geotechnical, permitting, among others.
The President-Elect of AIPG is tasked with serving on the Advisory Board as its presiding officer, shall be responsible for the preparation of the budget for the ensuing fiscal year, and shall undertake special projects requested by the President and report periodically thereon. It is important to coordinate with the President to ensure a smooth transition to President.
As mentioned above, the geologic specialties and interests
vary widely across the country. I think another way to engage more members in the State Sections is to gather and evaluate data on each State’s membership makeup. With the data in hand, the section will be able to plan activities and meetings to better serve their membership.
