Lynthener Takenaka

Lyn’s work to date includes many commodities such as diamonds, gold, copper, nickel, lead, zinc, uranium and platinum group elements. Lyn has extensive experience in geochronology, isotopes and exploration geochemistry including coordination of sampling and analytical campaigns, data processing and interpretation. Lyn’s double PhD in Australia and Brazil revealed the origin and composition of lithosphere domains in a very complex geological setting. 

She combined a large range of techniques (e.g. geochronology, geophysics, geochemistry, statistics and basic coding) to provide valuable clues for the exploration of ore deposits while providing new geological concepts and tools for lithosphere studies. As a consultant, Lyn has worked across several topics including prospectivity studies, geological support for valuation, ranking studies, field mapping and government applications.
