In 1992, Inco Ltd, acquired the rights to the Goro nickel deposit in South Province of New Caledonia; Inco had discovered the Goro deposit in 1969. On the basis of the extensive laterite deposits that were amenable to opencut mining, the project had the potential to have one of the lowest-cost sources of nickel in the world.

As exploration geologist, on this project my principal tasks were:

- Regolith characterization
- Geological mapping
- Near mine exploration (renewal of mining titles)
- Core logging set new logging codes suited to lateritic profile of Goro
- Geological mapping with Arcview on GPS pocket PC
- Planning of geophysics survey of weathering profile.
- GIS design and management
- Structural analysis
