Quote: In 1970, David co-authored a scientific report outlining the Lowell-Guilbert model of porphyry ore deposits – massive bodies of once-molten rock that host staggering amounts of copper, gold, silver and other metals. This groundbreaking bit of geological detective work revolutionized the way that exploration geologists search for porphyries. Thirty years later, these ideas are still compulsory learning for geology students.John Guilbert has been a friend of James Briscoe's for many years, and is on the board of directors for Liberty Star (LBSR).
Quote: Mr. Lowell is one of the world’s most successful and honoured exploration geologists with a career of over fifty years. Mr. Lowell has been involved in the discovery of more than sixteen major mineral deposits and participated in the development of seven large mines including Escondida, Toromocho, Pierina, Kalamazoo and Zaldivar. He has published more than fifty articles, one of which, co-authored with John Guilbert, defines the Lowell-Guilbert Porphyry Copper Model. Mr. Lowell has participated in nine major prefeasibility studies or bankable feasibility studies and has received over thirty professional awards including induction into the American Mining Hall of Fame and the National Academy of Engineering. Mr. Lowell is currently the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Lowell Copper which is his third public company. His first two public companies, Arequipa Resources and Peru Copper, were both sold for values of $1 billion and $850 million respectively."Mining’s Greatest Explorer – Dave Lowell Interview," posted January 16, 2013 by Tommy Humphreys: http://ceo.ca/2013/01/16/dave-lowell/
Quote: Lowell is probably best known today for co-authoring the Lowell-Guilbert Model, a guide to large, low-grade porphyry copper deposits published in 1970. Throughout most of his career, Lowell used the model to locate some of the most profitable mineral finds in the history of mining, such as the 1981 discovery of the Escondida deposit in Chile. Containing hundreds of billions of dollars worth of ore, Lowell and his colleagues found it at the cost of a mere $2.5 million.
