WELCOME TO THE WEBSITE OF JOHN BARRY

“the real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes, but in
having new eyes”  – Marcel Proust.

For the most part I believe that mineral exploration is a process of creative
failure.  But to mangle some words of wisdom wisdom of Sun Tzu to mineral
exploration: exploration strategy without the right tactics is the slowest route
to discovery; exploration tactics without strategy is the noise of failure.
Mineral exploration, discovery and mining is pathway involving lots of science
and engineering and luck. I have visited many countries and seen a lot of rocks
and most importantly mineralised rocks. In my Blog I share my passion for
exploration and try to remove some of the mystery.  You may stumble across some
insights and interesting ideas embedded in my observations.  If not I hope you
still enjoy the stories and the magpie’s snippets of information.

John P. Barry

Irus Consulting provides strategic and practical management advice and guidance
to its clients. Time is a precious commodity. It ebbs away relentlessly for us
all. Life is too short so I try as best I can to avoid the mediocre. I like
quality exploration projects with passionate champions which together make the
extraordinary possible. It requires belief and persistence and some magical
realism combined with noodles of luck.  What a curious investment proposition?

 * High-level strategic advice
 * Practical guidance and assistance on project sourcing, acquisition and
   implementation
 * Rapid identification of key project value-drivers and potential fatal flaws.
 *  Capacity building and coordination of  external consultants.
 * Design and targeting of effective marketing campaigns
