Mr. McNamara holds Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in geology from Laurentian University of Sudbury, Ontario.

I’m very pleased with the additions to Standard’s technical team that now combines decades of concentrated experience with discovering high grade uranium mineralization in the southwest Athabasca, which is a key component for future success.”

The Standard Uranium Technical Team is now comprised of: Neil McCallum, Garrett Ainsworth, Galen McNamara and Sean Hillacre. Together they have over 30 years of specific experience working in the southwest Athabasca Basin and have won multiple awards for discoveries.
