Resource Geologist involved in Project development at the Davyhurst Gold Project ( Eastern Goldfields). Focus has been in moving the project from advanced exploration too a mine ready status over the last 12 months, adding close to 300,000 additional resource and 150,000 Reserve to date. Continuing to develop additional advance projects to mine ready status with an an aim of achieving approximately 5yr reserve.

During 2006-2007 my responsibilities predominately involved co- managing an intensive resource definition drill program over two of the main resources within the Buckreef Project, planning and drilling approximately 30,000m of RC drilling. The end product of which was a total update of the 3D geology, mineralisation and alteration models for a mid year resource update.

The end product of which was a total update of the 3D geology, mineralisation and alteration models for a mid year resource update. The key skills developed during this time was the ability to be able to successfully manage simultaneous drill programs over multiple sites, ensuring excellent safety and environmental practices were adhered to, quality drilling & data collection, detailed interpretations (3D modelling) and finally periodic reporting of the above. The project shifted focus during 2008 from purely resource definition to a combination of ongoing resource definition and targeting and exploring "near-mine" prospects with an aim of adding additional ounces to the total resource. During this period I gained excellent experience in project evaluation utilising Airmag, IP, soils and historic drilling to identify prospective targets. I was involved with the design and implementation of several pre-feasibility programs such as hydrological testing, density analysis, diamond twinning and metallurgical analysis while continuing with the ongoing resource requirements such as the interpretation, modelling and estimation of the Minzwel Prospect.During my 2 ½ years at the Buckreef project I have gained broad exposure to resource development and exploration from first pass reconnaissance drilling to resource modelling and estimation while developing skills in people and project management, prospect evaluation, orebody modelling, database management, QAQC and reporting.

One of the most rewarding projects I was involved in during my time at Mt Keith was the renewal and development of old outdated department procedureand systems, streamlining several process, the effects of this process had an immediate effect on the preformance of the department Show less
