Background

About David Kaeter

I help mining companies de-risk complex projects and maximize value by integrating expertise across the full project lifecycle. With a PhD in economic geology, mineralogy, and geochemistry, I specialize in leveraging geochemical data for geological modelling and connecting the geological characteristics of an orebody to both its metallurgical performance and its long-term environmental footprint. Too often, valuable data is siloed and underutilized, leading to unforeseen challenges in processing, unexpected costs, and environmental liabilities. My work breaks down these silos. I use advanced data analysis and a first-principles approach to delineate deposits, select representative samples, and create predictive models that provide a clear, integrated view of a project's potential, from resource to residue. Key areas where I add value: • Integrated Geometallurgy & Process Mineralogy • Environmental Geochemistry & Mine Waste Characterization • Advanced Geochemical Data Analysis & Modeling (Python) • 3D Geological Modelling & Resource Domaining (Leapfrog Geo) • Project De-risking & Orebody Knowledge • NI 43-101 Reporting & Project Evaluation I'm passionate about tackling challenging orebody knowledge problems and I believe the most robust solutions are found at the intersection of deep technical knowledge and data-driven analysis. If you're facing a complex geometallurgical or environmental geochemistry challenge, I would welcome the opportunity to connect- Registered GIT with EGBC. NPPE passed in September 2025. Full designation expected by EOY 2025.
