Mehmet Taner, Consulting Geologist and Mineralogist

Dr. Mehmet Taner is a Consulting Geologist and Mineralogist with more than 25 years of experience in the mining industry., He is a practicing member of the “Order des Geologues du Quebec” and received his degrees in Switzerland specifically: Ph.D. in Geology and Mineralogy, University of Geneva, Switzerland – 1976; M.Sc. in Geological Engineering (Geostatistics), University of Geneva, Switzerland – 1974; and B.Sc. in Geology, University of Lausanne, Switzerland (Geology and Geophysics) – 1971. Mehmet is best known for his work on the Vanadium-Titanium occurrances in the Matagami region of Quebec. Dr. Taner was also responsible for spearheading the International Symposium on Vanadium which was held in 2002 in Montreal. He has published over 30 papers in revered journals and produced over 200 technical reports and presentations.

From 1977–1982, Dr. Taner served as the Chief Geologist in the Economic Geology Division, of the Geological Survey of Turkey. During this time he also put his knowledge to work as Associate Professor in charge of teaching mineralogy at the University of Selcuk, Konya, Turkey.This important role prepared him well for his move to the position of Research Scientist with Ecole Polytechnique, IREM-MERI in Montreal, Canada. In 1986 his services were enlisted by Quebec Ministry of Natural Resources, as he was chosen Chief of an exploration team assembled to map the Juillet Lake area East of the Labrador Trough.

Between 1991 and 1997 Mehmet applied his knowledge to the Selbaie Mine, owned by Billiton Metals Canada. He was hired as an Exploration Geologist and Consulting Mineralogist and participated heavily in their underground development planning and mapping. His contribution to the description of the Selbaie type volcanogenic polymetallic Cu, Zn, Ag and Au ore deposits by developing new lithogeochemical methods and employing data compilation proved tremendously beneficial. It should also be noted that thanks to Mehmet’s mineralogical studies on mill feed ore, the metallurgical performance of the Selbaie concentrator was greatly advanced.

One of Mehmet’s more noble accomplishments lies in his volunteer work as a Research Scientist and Mineralogist with the Canadian Museum of Nature, located in Ottawa Ontario, Canada. In collaboration with Dr.T. Scott Ercit, and Dr. Joel Grice, Dr.Taner has been involved in severalresearch projects for the museum focusing mainly on the mineralogy of vanadium-bearing magnetite, from the Matagami and Chibougamau mining districts in Quebec.

Apella considers Dr. Taner a tremendous compliment to our team as Apella goes forward with our world class Vanadium-Titanium-Iron projects.
