Christine is an economic geologist at the MBMG and conducts field-based critical mineral prospectivity studies. Christine's research interests include a holistic field-based approach through research compilation, mapping of economic ore deposits, age-dating, sediment-hosted ore deposits, Paleozoic carbonates, and sequence stratigraphy. She has worked as a professional economic geologist since 2007 as part of greenfields and brownfields exploration teams throughout the US intermountain west on a variety of ore deposit types: Carlin-type, skarn, CRD, Mississippi-Valley-type, orogenic gold, and epithermal. Christine is a passionate equestrian with a strong interest in natural horsemanship and dressage, and during her free time is a barefoot trimmer. She also enjoys hiking, painting, photography, and spending time with her husband on their ranch.
