Russell Downer

CEO & Founder

My curiosity for computers, science, and engineering can be traced back to my early years. I am the CEO and founder of Opencontour and the Director of Mining for Forte Dynamics. After working for a large Gold Mining Company for over twenty years, I decided to start Opencontour. I regularly evaluate designs, schedules, and processes and always wondered, " What if we did things differently? Making things work and work better and then looking for ways to innovate them continues to be my driving force.

 As a new start-up, the software has continued to evolve. The company also focuses on becoming the first to market heap leach stacking and recovery modeling software. Clients have gained many valuable insights from our software solutions.
