Base Metals

Since 1962, WGM has completed base metals assignments in a wide variety of geological terrains and weathering profiles, including porphyry copper deposits in Myanmar, Philippines and Panama; carbonate-hosted zinc-lead-silver projects in Ireland, Yemen, Iran and Thailand; VMS-type deposits in Canada, USA, Iran, Yemen and Russia; metasediment-hosted deposits in Zambia; and Kiruna-type deposits in Sweden.

On a historical note, the late Murry Watts, one of WGM's founding partners, discovered the Raglan nickel deposits while exploring for gold in the 1930's. It was not until 1995, that serious exploration was initiated in the area.
