[TUD-TSXV; TDRRF-OTC], he comes across as a man doing what he was born to do – exploring for valuable mineral deposits. Born and raised in Nelson, southern British Columbia, as a young boy, he lived on Silver King Road which was the access road for the former Silver King Mine. In an interview, Ken told Resource World, "I spent countless hours in my youth going through the dump piles finding silver-rich massive galena," he remembered. "So basically, it was baptism by massive sulfides. I caught silver fever because there was not too much gold at the Silver King Mine." Taking minerals seriously, Ken attended the University of British Columbia and received a Bachelor of Science degree in geology in 1984. "The focus of my degree was economic geology with an emphasis on precious and base metal systems," he said. "I'm currently a registered Geoscientist with the Association of Engineers and Geoscientists of British Columbia." "I studied all types of deposits at UBC but, ironically, since I spent 19 years with Silver Standard searching the world for sizable silver-dominant systems, I felt it was fitting since I grew up near Silver King Mine and subsequently studied silver-rich systems within the West Kootenays as a student," he said. "However, in my early years, as a young geologist, I spent most my time up in the Golden Triangle prior to my tenure with Silver Standard."
