W. Dan Hausel graduated from the University of Utah in Geology in 1972 and 1974. Since 1975, he has worked as a consultant for various companies (Bald Mountain Mining, Echo Bay Exploration, Chevron Resources, Western Gold Exploration and Mining, North American Exploration, Western Archon, and others) and as a research geologist for the Wyoming State Geological Survey (WSGS). Currently, he occupies the position of Senior Economic Geologist for the WSGS where his duties include investigations related to precious and base metals, gemstones, mineralogy, mining districts, Archean greenstone belts and diamondiferous host rocks.

 

During the past 28 years, he mapped more than 600 mi2 of historic mining districts and Precambrian geology including the two largest kimberlite districts in the US. His work has resulted in the discovery of some diamond, colored gemstone occurrences, several base and precious metal occurrences and deposits, as well as a previously unrecognized gold district in Wyoming (Rattlesnake Hills) and two of the largest iolite (water sapphire) gemstone deposits in the world. While on leave from the state, he has consulted on several diamond and gold projects around North America, and provided the initial mapping on the Donlin Creek gold deposit in southwestern Alaska, which is now considered to be the largest undeveloped gold deposit in North America.

 

He has authored or co-authored more than 500 books, professional papers, general interest articles and geological maps, and lectured to hundreds of groups around North America and has presented more than 400 lectures, field trips and short courses. In 1992, he was awarded the American Association of Petroleum Geologist's Energy Mineral's Division President's Award and the Wyoming Geological Association's (WGA) Certificate of Appreciation for Outstanding Endeavors and Contributions.
