Dr. Craig Beasley
“Mine Finder”
The story of Vortex Metals started with the vision of the late David Jones, a renowned geologist credited as spearheading the discovery of 7.43 million ounces of gold and 52.54 million ounces of silver in what eventually became known as Los Filos, one of the world's largest gold deposits (now owned by Equinox Gold)
Jones was a recognized skarn expert and created the geological model responsible for multiple discoveries in what is now known as the 20-million-ounce Guerrero Gold Belt in Mexico, earning him the moniker “mine finder”.
Jones believed that both the Riqueza Marina- Zaachila (RQMZ) copper-gold projects, in Oaxaca, currently owned by Vortex Metals (TSXV:VMS), would be his next significant discovery and had personally curated five high-potential targets in his work toward discovering the next large mineralized system.
