About Andy Wallace
Mr. Wallace is the Principal of Cordex Exploration, considered by many in the mining industry to be one of the most successful gold exploration groups in the United States. Cordex is credited with an unprecedented nine gold discoveries in Nevada, a number of which were under Mr. Wallace’s management, including the 5-million-ounce Marigold Mine, the 12 million-ounce Stonehouse/Lone Tree Mine, and the Daisy Mine. Mr. Wallace was also involved in the discovery of the Sterling Mine and of the Dee Mine.
Mr. Wallace’s experience in the gold mining industry includes every aspect of mineral exploration and mine development. At his Marigold discovery, and also at the Pinson and Dee mines in Nevada, Mr. Wallace directed or was involved in resource delineation and expansion, engineering and feasibility studies, permitting, mine construction, and production activities. Both Pinson and Dee were Cordex discoveries, and in the late-1970s, Pinson alone accounted for 7% of all U.S. domestic and gold production.
