Newfoundland & Labrador Prospectors Association (NLPA)
Mentorship
Over the past couple of months, your Association has been working on a New Mentorship Initiative which has been requested by a number of members in several regions of the province.
A number of experienced Prospectors and Mineral Exploration Geologists responded to our Call and are offering their vast experience, knowledge and skill sets to other members of the Association.
The New Mentorship Initiative is on a Strictly Confidential Basis and all experienced members who have agreed to act as Mentors with the Association have agreed to this going forward!
Personal Contact Information and Brief Summaries of Experience on each Mentor will be posted on the Website, and as new Mentors step forward to volunteer, they too will be added!
Please take the Opportunity to contact either of the Mentors listed below, as they are quite interested in assisting you with your Prospecting Activities in the Province!
