founded Scientific Geochemical Services (SGS) in 1987, as a company focused on conducting and interpreting geochemical
surveys. Since its inception, SGS has conducted exploration surveys encompassing more than one hundred thousand
sample locations in numerous offshore and onshore basins worldwide. Previous to forming SGS, Mr. Merschat worked
for Gulf Research and Development, a division of Gulf Oil Co., where he focused on the execution and interpretation
of geochemical programs in the Rocky Mountain region of Wyoming and in the Basin and Range geologic province of
Nevada and Utah. During his tenure at Gulf, Mr. Merschat performed the geochemical surveying on Ameriwest’s Skull
Valley prospect, located in Tooele County, Utah. Mr. Merschat received an M.S. In Geology at Ohio University in 1971
and a B.S. in Geology in 1967.
Mr. Jon Clement Nicolaysen, Director, brings over 40 years of experience in business, mineral development and
agriculture to Ameriwest. He has served as president of JK Minerals Inc., a private oil company, for 19 years. Under his
leadership, JK Minerals consolidated ownership and increased production in the historic Cole Creek Oil field northeast
