I am a hard working Geologist who has enough experience in mining and exploration. At the moment I'm looking for a more senior position at any operation. My mining experience includes open pit mining and underground trackless and conventional mining. I have both Merensky and UG2 experience. I worked for both Diamond and Platinum mines. My experience is well above 6 years and I originate from Burgersfort and have worked at Two Rivers during exploration of the second shaft. I need a new challenging job at the moment.
In my career I trained lot of successful Geologist during their junior level some of them during their training time as graduates.
I'm now in charge of the biggest section at Khuseleka 1 Shaft and open pit project at Khuseleka 2 shaft. I manage a drill rig for surface drilling and two underground drill rigs for cover and prospect drilling.
