EXPERIENCE SUMMARY
-
Exploration Geology
- Led the full exploration spectrum, from conceptual
grass-roots projects to detailed geological investigations, focusing on
precious (epithermal gold) and base metals deposits. Orchestrated
exploration programs from inception, including budget development,
assembling and training field crews, and meticulously organizing logistics
for diverse drilling activities (core, RC, RAB, Bangka), geochemical
sampling, costeaning, test pitting, and detailed mapping. Managed data
meticulously, interpreted 3D geology, and performed robust resource
estimations. My expertise is recognized as meeting "Competent Person" (CP)
standards under JORC Code and other reporting requirements (e.g., NI
43-101).

-
Mining Geology
- Led the Mining Geology Department for both open-pit
and underground mines, ensuring accurate grade control and efficient
production. Developed and implemented comprehensive procedures for detailed
mapping, scheduling, production control, monitoring, and cost management.
Utilized expertise in 3D geological modelling (Gemcom), pit optimization
(Whittle 4x), data management (Micromine), resource and reserve estimation,
and drill supervision and logging. Achieved consistent mine-mill
reconciliation and reporting. Recognized as a Competent Person (CP) under
the JORC Code and other reporting standards (e.g., NI 43-101).
-
-
Independent Consulting
- Delivered consistently reliable and
industry-standard work for clients across various aspects of mineral
resource evaluation. Established robust systems and procedures to ensure
meticulous research, informed opinions, and sound recommendations in client
reports. My expertise encompasses tasks like resource and reserve
estimation, 3D orebody modelling, data management, compelling presentation
graphics, project management, independent geologist reports, technical
audits, mineral asset evaluation, and pit optimization. I consistently
exercise the highest professional standards to ensure client satisfaction
and exceed expectations. Recognized as a "Competent Person" (CP) under the
JORC Code and other reporting guidelines (e.g., NI 43-101).

-
Computer Knowledge
- Leveraging over 35 years of experience in data
management, I excel at validating, analysing, and visualizing spatial data
using various software tools. Proficient in MS Office suite (Word, Excel,
Access, PowerPoint), Micromine, Gemcom, Whittle Four-X, Winsurf, GeoCalc,
and more. I possess fundamental programming skills in Visual Basic and
Pascal, allowing me to tailor solutions as needed. Additionally, I have
provided expert technical support for Micromine and Gemcom software, both
remotely and on-site.

Natural Resources Involved (Competent Person)
- Possesses extensive hands-on experience across the
entire mining value chain, from spatial data management and 3D modelling to
resource and reserve estimation. Possesses in-depth knowledge of diverse
commodities including gold (epithermal and alluvial), silver, alluvial
diamonds, nickel, iron ore (banded and sands), copper, coal, chromite,
marble, and aggregates.
