Loading ...Peter George fined for QP role in Barkerville and early Rubicon reports
The Association of Professional Engineers and Geoscientists of British Columbia has reached a consent order with Peter Thomas George in which he has agreed to pay a fine of $15,000 and pay $20,000 towards APEGBC’s legal costs for a disciplinary proceeding concerning a technical report that he wrote as QP in August 2012 about Barkerville Gold Mines’ (TSXV: BGM) Cow Mountain deposit, and two technical reports he authored in 2011for Rubicon Minerals Corp. (TSX: RMX; NYSE: RBY) about the company’s F2 deposit.
“He’s admitted to all the charges, so we did not need to proceed to a public hearing,” Efrem Swartz, APEGBC’s director of legislation, ethics and compliance, told The Northern Miner by telephone from his office in Vancouver. “George’s license was not revoked, but he must partner with other professional geoscientists to produce mineral resource or reserve estimates.”
