• Recent project highlights include the following:
• Chaquicocha Underground Project, Peru. Produced a detailed trade-off study between two different stoping orientations highlighting a path forward. Created the designs, schedule, and engineering report for the Newmont.
• Subika Underground, Ghana. Built and evaluated several mine plans in Deswik including, long hole open stoping, long hole stoping with fill, and modified sub level caving. The modified sub level caving was selected as.
• Tanami Underground, Australia. Designed and evaluated a sublevel shrinkage mine plan in Deswik, resulting in substantial improvements over the current long hole stoping mine plan. Conducted a comprehensive comparison.
• San Albino Underground Project, Nicaragua. Developed multiple underground cut and fill mining plans. Played pivotal role in facilitating shift from open-pit to underground operations. Determined optimal cut-off grades.

Subika Underground, Newmont USA Limited, Kenyasi, Ahafo, Ghana. Mr. Seamons built and evaluated several mine plans in Deswik including, long hole open stoping, long hole stoping with fill, and modified sub level caving. The modified sub level caving was selected as the preferred mining method. Mr. Seamons further detailed and improved the modified sub.
