 developed efficiency improvement assessments to track operation effectiveness for aspects pertaining to mining operation to

Identify areas for potential cost-savings and/or increased efficiencies

 modified existed quarry plan/design, incorporating new benches, ramps and haul roads as short cuts to process

plant.

 Provided technical assurance studies and training including ,but not limited to: understanding and following mine plans,

equipment handling safety ,time management and production optimization

 controlled mine operational activities and leading all members of the technical and operational mining team and

ensuring goal unity through concise communication.

 made plans for drilling and conducting blasting operations, ensuring the drilling and blasting team subscribe to the required design and

acceptable practices in achieving good fragmentation, less throw, reduced grand vibration and zero damage to the wall

 made long and short term, day or night duty schedule for mining team: mining foremen, drilling, dumper, shovel, excavator,

grab and breaker operators and allotting overtime duties should its necessary

 apprised the Deputy General Manager quarrying technical reports and issues that may affect safe and efficient production through

frequent communication in an appropriate manner.
