Summary
Over 9 years as a geology professional in the extractive industry with extensive experience in mineral exploration geology. And additional mining/production geology experience in open pit mines and exposure to underground mines. I am currently with the exploration team of a polymetallic mine on the West Coast of Tasmania that is prospecting for both satellite deposits and extensions of a VHMS deposit and defining various overprinting mineralisation.
