An Exploration geologist with 15 years’ progressive experience. I have experience working at a copper and gold mine and remote exploration sites. My areas of expertise include geological and geotechnical core logging, pit and field geological mapping, strong geological interpretation skills, proficient use of GIS software including 3D geological modelling. I have gained wide knowledge of the mineral systems in sediment hosted copper deposits of the central African Copperbelt, Industrial minerals and gained some experience understanding copper porphyry systems of South America.
