Similar to my last role with CopperChem, but with a further focus on the extension of the Great Australian Mine resource, helping to set up an updated Resource Block Model for a cut-back of the GAM open pit project; with proposal and design of an RC grade control program for a future Grade Control Block Model. This new role has also seen me take on the establishment of a reconciliation system for the geology department at CopperChem; as well as mentoring of graduate geologists.

I developed my leadership skills while tutoring and demonstrating for undergraduate students as well taking a leadership role on undergraduate field trips, instructing students in mapping and stratigraphic classification, mineral identification as well as handling the logistics of field work.

My work as the person responsible for GPlates software documentation gave me a thorough understanding of the software development operation, technical writing and how to convey complex tasks in simple terms.I developed the user manual which can be found here: http://www.gplates.org/docs.html
