Alistair has 29 years of experience in geotechnical, civil, hydrotechnical and environmental engineering. This has included several onsite roles with operating mining companies in Canada and Indonesia. Alistair developed geotechnical expertise in the design of very high waste rock piles in difficult terrain, leading to the practical application of risk-based approaches which were vital to cost-effective mine waste disposal. Subsequent work included Newmont's large open-pit gold-copper mine, BHP's lateritic nickel project, both in Indonesia, and Phelps Dodge's Ambatovy nickel project in Madagascar. In 2001/2002 he directed the water and tailings management planning for the Snap Lake diamond project in NWT, and also coordinated these aspects for Cumberland's Meadowbank Project feasibility in Nunavut. He is currently managing geotechnical, water and waste elements for the High Lake project, also in NU. Through his involvement with the Canadian Institute of Mining since 1997, he has been actively involved in the implementation of sustainable development practices and the integration of multi-disciplinary teams to promote socially responsible mining. In March 2008 Alistair was appointed Chief Sustainability Advisor for Longview Capital Partners.
