Robert Fisher is an accountant, a computer consultant and an entrepreneur in exploration geology. His most recent venture uses satellite data from NASA to identify valuable mineral deposits. In the picture, Robert proudly holds a gold-laden chunk of ore identified through his innovative resonance-imaging technique. A conversation with a stranger on an airplane led Robert to this exciting venture. His new contact came to visit him during the Canadian winter, and the conversation turned to new technologies and mineral exploration. Now he and his partners at Leaf and Stone Resonance Services Ltd. are actively exploring across Canada, and developing their own 28 square kilometre property in New Brunswick. “It’s the best thing in life to happen to an accountant,” he beams.
