Dr. Daniels has experience working in the active war zones of Angola where he was the Chief Geologist for Roan Selection Trust International, overseeing production of five alluvial mines including among other responsibilities, grade control and predictions, production and mining reconciliations, planning and supervision, river diversions and monitoring diamond population distribution.

Furthermore, he has been involved in diamond exploration and bulk sampling of kimberlites in Russia, evaluation of alluvial diamond deposits in South Africa, and exploration and development of properties in the Congo, Finland, the Kingdom of Lesotho, Australia, Zambia, Guinea, Mali and Sao Tome. In addition, his experience includes marketing, valuating, processing, negotiating and liaising with surface rights owners and Black Economic Empowerment partners in South Africa.

He is Managing Director of Pangolin Gold (Pty) Limited, a company dedicated to the recycling of historical gold tailings dumps in Botswana; Director of Kimberlamp Exploration Zambia Limited exploring for diamonds in Zambia and President of Precambrico SA, exploring for gold in Uruguay.
