About Hamid Samari

Principal Exploration and Structural Geologist with 25+ years of experience in mining exploration, including 9 years in the U.S, covering projects across the Americas. Since joining Global Resource Engineering (GRE), I have served as a Qualified Professional (QP), signing off on 35+ NI 43-101 Technical Reports across the Americas. I specialize in structural geology, drilling programs, 2D/3D modeling, and due diligence review, supporting validated geological databases and providing senior-level geological interpretation to underpin defensible, regulatory-compliant Mineral Resource Estimates for gold, silver, copper, lead, zinc, and lithium projects.I am a Principal Exploration and Structural Geologist at GRE, responsible for geological sections of NI 43-101 Technical Reports. My contributions include geology chapters covering regional and property geology, mineralization, deposit types, exploration, drilling and sampling programs, in-house QA/QC review, data validation, and database integrity. I also contribute to property description, climate and infrastructure, historical mining, executive summaries, conclusions, and exploration recommendations, ensuring defensible Mineral Resource Estimates and regulatory compliance. I support exploration proposal preparation and cost estimation to align technical programs with budgets.I have worked on Carlin-type, epithermal, porphyry, orogenic, and intrusion-related gold, silver, copper, lead, zinc deposits, as well as lithium projects across Nevada, Utah, Arizona, Alaska, California, Newfoundland, British Columbia, Mexico, Peru, Brazil, Guatemala, and Iran. My structural geology expertise supports interpretation of complex fault systems, vein controls, and tectonic settings, improving targeting efficiency and geological confidence.Earlier in my career in Iran, I was involved in seismic hazard evaluation, fault characterization, and engineering geology for major infrastructure and dam projects. Today, I support environmental and geotechnical teams by contributing structural interpretations to evaluate hydrological conditions, conducting geochemical sampling for acid-leaching evaluation, and assisting with rock mass classification and geotechnical assessments. This multidisciplinary foundation strengthens my risk-based geological thinking and technical reporting approach.I bring senior-level technical judgment and regulatory familiarity, mentoring junior geologists while contributing at a principal level to reporting, project advancement, and technical risk reduction, ensuring regulatory compliance.
