Colombia

•Developed and upgraded 3D geological model of short-range for several pits (monthly ore production by pit of up to 1.2M tons), based on information from exploration wells, blasting boreholes and detailed geological mapping. Seam modeling utilizing fault blocks model of Minex.•Created and updated the detailed geological maps of the pits, developing and executing sequences of geoprocessing (Spatial Analyst and 3D Analyst tools) utilizing ModelBuilder. Prediction of relevant geological features in the mining faces, according to the GPS location in the map of the mining equipment.•Collaborated with the engineering department in the preparation of monthly plan making reliable ore forecasts, considering the most current information from mine, the 3D geological model of short range and historical reconciliation statistics.•Performed monthly ore reconciliation (resources - mine production). Report with the official ore recovery and the descriptions of the variances.•Designed footwall string, modeling of weathering surface and clinker areas.•Daily mentoring and technical support to mine operations: better locations for the shovels, equipment productivity and fulfillment of production goals.•Implemented new practices to improve the ore quality and recovery from 86 to 95%•Mining supervision, grade control and detailed mapping in mining faces.•Collected geological data with Trimble/Thales handheld GPS device using field capture software (TerraSync, ArcPad or MobilMapper Field) and data dictionary consistent with GIS schema. Daily download, postprocessing and exporting of mapping data, utilizing Pathfinder Office or MobileMapper Office.•Delegated for the data manipulation in and out of the Esri Enterprise Geodatabase: design of GIS schema, import, export, spatial reference transformations, feature dataset, feature classes, table management, raster operations, georeferencing of images, data integrity and conversion of formats (shp, gdb, dxf, kmz, kml, csv, grd).

Colombia

• Oversaw drilling campaign of 40k meters, between cored and open boreholes, making sure high levels of safety and geological targets, according to the scheduling.• Carried out ongoing inspections and risk assessments to identify and address unsafe conditions or hazards in the workplace.• Responsible for core logging, sampling, QA/QC, reading and interpretation of geophysical logs.• Updated exploration database with logging and sampling data previously validated. • Weekly coordination of the status meeting to select and prioritize drilling areas from the rolling-mine plan, geology, and logistic requirements.

Ecopetrol-Icp, Colombia

• Compiled and evaluated information concerning the reserves, geology, and technological developments associated with heavy oil, seeps, and oil sands around the world.• Delivered a final report that identified potential areas regarding heavy oil and bitumen in Colombia that could generate hydrocarbon reserves for the country.
