Dr. Biste received his B.Sc. degree in Geology in 1973 from the University of Cologne, Cologne, Germany; and his M.Sc. degree in 1975 and PhD degree in 1980 in Geology, both from the Free University of Berlin, Germany.
Dr. Biste has 27 years of experience in exploration geology, and is currently a senior consultant for Behre Dolbear and Company, Inc., a large Denver-based consulting firm to the minerals industry.
Dr. Biste’s focus during the past 12 years is of greatest interest to Golden Eagle. In 1991, Dr. Biste wrote a strategic report on the gold potential of the Precambrian Shield of eastern Bolivia for Newmont Overseas Exploration Ltd.
From 1993 through 1995, Dr. Biste supervised the exploration activities of Tanganika A.V.V. (Aruba), located in Santa Cruz, Bolivia, and discovered a new volcanogenic massive sulphide (VMS) zone 200 kilometers north of Santa Cruz in the Guarayos Greenstone Belt, as well as several primary shear zone related gold targets.
Dr. Biste continued his exploration work in the Precambrian Shield between 1995 and 1999 under Essex Resource Corp., a Canadian company that purchased Tanganika. He supervised eighteen geologists and 120 auxiliaries in a campaign of drilling, geophysical surveys and chemical assays that resulted in 30,000 samples in three years. |
