Biography

Dr. LaPoint brings decades of experience generating, advancing and managing early-stage mineral exploration projects, with a strong focus on discovery in frontier and geologically complex environments.

He began his career in uranium exploration with Plateau Resources, where he led frontier programs and evaluated uranium prospects and deposits across the United States and Canada. His work in ore controls and sedimentary rock analogues helped establish him as a leader in developing new geological models for uranium deposits in the Colorado Plateau.

Beyond uranium, Dr. LaPoint has led and managed precious and base metal exploration programs across the United States, Suriname, Belize, Panama and Serbia. He also discovered the Merian gold mine in Suriname, which hosts an inventory of more than 13 million ounces of gold.

Throughout his career, Dr. LaPoint has held senior technical and executive roles with public and private companies, including vice-president of exploration, project manager and chief operating officer. He has also advised the State Mining Company of Suriname and has been appointed by two North Carolina governors to serve on the state board responsible for licensing geologists.

Dr. LaPoint holds a bachelor's degree from the University of Iowa, a master's degree from the University of Montana, and a PhD in geology from the University of Colorado, where his doctoral research focused on sedimentary copper deposits.
