Summary

I am a geological engineering professional with a bachelor's degree and had been enrolled in a master's programme in metallurgical and materials engineering, although I have not submitted my thesis. With a career spanning 16 years from 2008 to 2024, I bring a wealth of expertise in various facets of field engineering and mine geology. My extensive background includes skills in drilling, exploration, mine production, geological and geotechnical logging, hydrological and hydraulic monitoring boreholes, acid rock drainage studies, interpretation of geophysical work, geological mapping, grade control, reconciliation and database management. I also have extensive experience in metallurgical sampling for detailed hydrometallurgical engineering studies, actively contributing to the preparation of bankable feasibility reports. My skills also extend to the establishment and management of field analytical laboratories, underlining my commitment to excellence in all aspects of geological and engineering endeavours.
