Project Reviews & Target Generation – Gold & Lithium

• Completed multiple project evaluations integrating WAMEX / open-file reviews, geochemistry, geophysics, and mapping datasets to assess prospectivity.
• Built target models using QGIS and Micromine with some experience in copilot in resource estimation.
• Successfully identifying previously unknown targets in LCT pegmatites and gold mineralization.

Field Program Management (Remote)

• Planned and executed remote field programs, managing logistics, HSE (Health, Safety and Environment), and contractor coordination.
• Conducted geological mapping, soil sampling, and rock-chip sampling in a range of environments.

RC Drill Program Management

• Supervised RC drilling programs, including geological logging, sampling, and QAQC control.
• Managed consumables, sample dispatch, and daily cost tracking.
• Ensured safe operations onsite, including fibrous mineral risk management.
• Oversaw pad/track earthworks and follow up drill site rehabilitation.

Heritage

• Managing heritage surveys and ensuring heritage compliance on ground disturbance activities.

Geological Systems Knowledge
Applied understanding of Archaean orogenic and intrusion-related gold systems including:

• Structural interpretation of shear zones and vein systems.
• Regolith interpretation and alteration mapping.
• Gold pathfinder geochemistry.

Understanding of LCT pegmatite systems, including:

• Fractionation trends and vectoring.
• Structural controls on pegmatite emplacement.
• Portable analytical geochemistry workflows.

Completed a 12-month placement in an Irish-type lead zinc mine. Split between Mine Geology and Exploration, gaining exposure to the full mining cycle from targeting through to production.

• Logged diamond core for lithology, structure, and grade estimation; used data to support resource interpretation.
• Performed underground geological mapping, identifying lithological contacts, mineralisation styles, and structural controls.
• Collected geotechnical data including RQD/Q logging, extensometer measurements, and total-station deformation surveys.
• Assisted with hydrogeology monitoring (packer testing, water table monitoring, underground flow and pH measurements).
• Interpreted drilling and assay datasets in Leapfrog 3D, modelling structures and mineralised zones.
