Focused In Nevada, One Of The Most Productive Gold Mining Regions In The World.
William B. Henderson,
CEO & Director
Bill brings more than 25 years experience in the mining industry to Nevada Sunrise Gold Corp. In 1983 he founded Geochemical Services, Inc. (GSI), which rapidly became a prime laboratory for exploration geochemistry in the U.S. At GSI, Bill developed numerous technological innovations in trace element analysis, ultimately making GSI the pre-eminent laboratory for low detection limit / high analytical precision exploration data. By the late 1980’s, GSI was the laboratory of choice for the majority of the major and mid-sized mining companies active in the western U.S.
In the early 1990’s Bill began acquiring and developing precious metals mining properties. He assembled a portfolio of high potential mining properties located throughout Nevada. During 2001 and 2002 Bill added Golden Arrow, Juniper and Kinsley Mountain to his portfolio and significantly increased the Iron Point property.
Prior to his career in the mining industry, Bill spent 18 years in the semiconductor industry working for Texas Instruments (Texas), Motorola (Arizona) and TRW (California). He received his BS Chemistry degree in 1964 from North Texas State University (now The University of North Texas), in Denton, Texas.
