About Us

We began Western Mining Services over 20 years ago and added exploration program management courses to our scope of services five years later. Our focus has always been on helping our clients and our students better understand how to develop and implement effective mineral exploration programs that deliver value to their companies and also personal value to their careers.

Our original scope included a wide range of mineral exploration services. Today, that scope is more intensely focused:

  • Mineral Exploration Management Training
  • Metallogenic Analysis and Regional-Scale Targeting Services
  • Strategic Analysis of Mineral Exploration Programs and Opportunities – that is, active engagement in the application, for our clients, of what we teach to our students

Our WMS Team is experienced: Jon and Steve, 40+ years each in mineral exploration, and Jeff, 50+ years in the commercial aspects of the mining business. We began teaching our Senior Exploration Management Course in 2010 and now have over 900 graduates at work around the world. We are skilled and passionate about our chosen profession — eager to help you achieve your mission whatever it may be in the global mineral exploration industry. Please contact us and let us share our passion.
