I also functioned as a resource geologist and production geologist mentor.A significant achievement while I was in the position was spearheading the recruitment, hiring, training, and the emplacement on site of resource geologists and related processes at each of the company’s mines in Sudbury. This significantly increased the timeliness, standardization and quality of the resource estimation processes at each of the mines.During this time, I was also part of the exploration team that created and officially reported the initial block model resource estimate for the Victoria Project, one of the most significant discoveries in Sudbury in the past 25 years.

Timmins, Ontario

My primary role was mineral reserve and mineral resource estimation and reporting, which essentially was a Q4 task. During the rest of the year, I supervised and oversaw production geology tasks in the lower part of the mine. This included drilling, logging, sampling, mapping, grade control, QA/QC, geological support services and the management of departmental databases and software systems. All in the support of large scale underground production of massive sulphides at depth.This… Show more My primary role was mineral reserve and mineral resource estimation and reporting, which essentially was a Q4 task.

All in the support of large scale underground production of massive sulphides at depth.This was incredible opportunity at Kidd during this time of Mine D development and commissioning. As the geology lead in the department, I spearheaded pre-production definition drilling and shotcrete-cycle mapping in Mine D, and performed the geological interpretation and upgrading of the block model resource estimates for both the Mine D Project and No. 3 Mine.I also worked to develop and implement the departmental processes and systems that enabled the automatic, daily creation and updating of mine-wide sections and level plans and related digital databases (real-time 2D and 3D digital data used in production planning).

I performed production geology services, which included underground geological mapping and interpretation, underground definition drilling (planning, supervision, logging, sampling and interpretation), polygonal reserve estimates, processing of geological information on mine prints, maintaining mine sections and maps, doing grade control, and maintaining and upgrading the department's computer software and databases.

Timmins, Ontario

My first two years in Timmins were spent designing, recommending, implementing, and interpreting exploration programs, supervising and being involved in detailed and reconnaissance scale geological mapping, geochemical sampling, geophysical surveys, diamond drill programs, property acquisition, filing assessment work, recruiting, training and supervising of geological assistants and support staff, and the implementation of computerized logging and mapping.
