Travis Fisher

M.S. in Economic Geology

Summary

I obtained a B.Sc. from the University of Idaho and began working in mineral exploration in 2018. After a few detours around the western United States primarily at VMS deposits in Alaska and Arizona and at a mesothermal system in Idaho, I began working in Nevada in 2020 during COVID. I worked in a variety of roles from geologic mapper, core logger, and project manager at localities around the state before taking an opportunity to obtain an M.Sc. at the University of Nevada, Reno. I am currently studying the Taylor district which hosts gold-dominant and polymetallic jasperoid, epithermal veins, and carbonate replacement deposits.
