“I oversee geological exploration, new acquisitions, and raise money,” says James, who has a Masters of Science in Geology from the University of Toronto. “This job requires good knowledge of geology as well as people skills.”
James previously worked as an Exploration Geologist for Cominco Limited before becoming President of Sorbara Geological Consulting Limited. He then served as Vice President for Hi Tec Resource Management Limited before assuming his current position.
James says his experiences as a professional geoscientist and his involvement with the Association of Professional Engineers and Geoscientists of British Columbia have been key parts of his career.
“Summer jobs showed me that I loved geological exploration,” he says.
“Comico came to U of T when I was part of an ore deposits workshop. They asked me to apply for a job upon graduation. Have determination, persistence, and understand people.”
