In 1968 Charlie graduated with a Law degree from the University of California, Hastings College of the Law in San Francisco, which led to a position as Legal Counsel for AMAX Inc. Charlie’s career with AMAX took the family to Colorado, Arizona, Washington State, and Connecticut, before returning to Colorado for good in 1986. It was during his tenure with AMAX in Arizona where Charlie returned to mining operations management from corporate legal services. He was General Manager of Climax Mine near Leadville, Colorado, from 1982 through 1984. Later, Charlie was the first President and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of AMAX Gold from 1986 until 1989. In the following years he worked as an independent consultant in the mining industry, and served as President and CEO of Horizon Resources, from 1990 to 1993.

Rex Loesby, Western Troy’s CEO, commented, “I have known Charlie for over 25 years. He sent me to Argentina in 1994 to seek out mineral project opportunities and we have worked together on a number of projects over many years. He has been consistently supportive of Western Troy. His counsel, based on a great career in mining, will be missed.”
