SUMMARY


Professor Hausel has worked as a research geologist and consultant specializing in diamond and colored gemstone exploration, Archean gold deposits, other precious metal deposits, base and strategic metals as well as Cratonic environments and Archean greenstone terrains. His work led to the discovery of several diamondiferous kimberlites, numerous gold anomalies and deposits, some nickel, copper, cobalt, platinum and palladium occurrences, several gemstone deposits and other mineral occurrences.

 

A signifiant part of the Archean basement of the Wyoming Craton was mapped by Hausel. His contributions included maps of the South Pass greenstone belt, the Seminoe Mountains greenstone belt, the Rattlesnake Hills greenstone belt and Tertiary alkalic intrusives, the Copper Mountain supracrustal belt, Cooper Hill metamorphic complex, as well as the largest field of lamproites in North America (Leucite Hills) and the two largest kimberlite districts in the US (State Line and Iron Mountain).

 

While working as a consultant for Western Gold Exploration and Mining in Alaska (a subsidiary of DeBeers and Anglo American), he provided the initial detailed mapping on the Donlin Creek gold deposit, which in currently recognized as the largest (39.5 million ounces) undeveloped gold deposit in North America and with its additional 140 million ounce inferred resources, makes it one of the top ten gold deposits ever to be discovered.

 

While employed by Western Archon, he discovered sapphire and benitoite during exploration of an unconventional diamond deposit in California. As a consultant for Echo Bay, he identified and proposed several excellent diamond projects to the company including one that later became a diamond mine.

 

In 1992, he was the recipient of the American Association of Petroleum Geologist's President's Certificate for Excellence and was awarded the Wyoming Geological Association's Certificate of Appreciation for Outstanding Endeavors and Contributions. In 2001, his contributions were further recognized by several other national and international organization and he was awarded the Education Award by the National Rock Hound & Lapidary Hall of Fame (HOF). In 2004, the Wyoming Geological Association awarded him their highest honor – the association’s ‘Distinguished Service Award’ for outstanding endeavors and contributions to the work and progress of the association and understanding of Wyoming’s geology. The association was so impressed that a 5 minute standing ovation accompanied the presentation. He is also hi-lighted in Who's Who in the West, Who's Who in the World, Who's Who in Science and Engineering, Two Thousand Notable American Men, Five Thousand Personalities of the World, and several other related documents.
