Harmen J. Keyser, P.Geol., President
Harmen is a geologist and helicopter pilot with more than 30 years of experience in helicopter operations and mineral exploration around the world. In addition to geological expertise in a wide variety of deposit models and geological environments, he has flown various types of helicopters in a diverse variety of commercial, exploration and geophysical applications. It is this unique combination of experience as a geologist and helicopter pilot that inspired him to develop simpler and more efficient geophysical survey methods. He obtained a Bachelor of Science degree in Geology from Saint Mary's University in 1981.
Chris Brown, B.Sc., GIT, Geophysicist
Chris is a graduate of Memorial University of Newfoundland with a B.Sc. (Honours) degree in geophysics. He has specialized in airborne geophysical data collection, processing, and interpretations for four years and is responsible for quality control and reporting.
Pat Dwan, Director of Operations
Pat is a commercial helicopter pilot and aircraft maintenance engineer (M1 & M2)
with more than 40 years experience in helicopter operations and management.
Michael Anderson, B.Sc., P.Geo., Geophysicist
Mike is a geophysicist with Risk Reduction Resources. He has over 15 years experience in gravity, magnetic, electromagnetic, and radiometric applications in mineral exploration, petroleum exploration, and unexploded ordnance detection. He holds a double major in geology and physics from Dalhousie University.
James is a helicopter pilot who specializes in airborne geophysical surveys. He has been factory trained to operate our on-board geophysical system, eliminating the extra weight and cost of a separate operator. He has flown over 35,000 line kilometers of low level surveys in all types of terrain on various types of helicopters.
Paula Vera, B.Sc., M.Sc., Pilot/Operator
Paula's skills as a commercial
helicopter pilot combined with a varied background in science, GIS, and
cartography contribute to Precision's operation by efficiently blending
data acquisition with quality control. Having previously worked with helicopters
in many applications from fire fighting to heli-logging, she is Precision's
newest team member.
