• Ground control and Geotechnical consultant at two ultra-deep underground metal mines.
• Underground rock damage mapping, inspection of installed ground support, rock strength classifications, and ground control.
• Created numerical models (3DEC and FLAC3D) that were used to determine the required support for a deep shaft project.
• Developed guidelines to further improve operations by minimizing shaft liner convergence.

Analyzed and designed a $1.25 million dollar ventilation upgrade at The Golden Giant Mine that allowed for expansion to a deeper ore zone. The conversion of an unused waste pass system to an exhaust raise allowed for the increased ventilation, saving the mine over $2.5 million in capital cost and $350,000 in annual operating cost. The installation of.
