Personal Statement:

I like working in the mining industry and I am proud of my work. Now

approaching the end of my career, I would like to mentor young engineers.

I am familiar several mining software packages so I am not obsolete. My

surface mining experience is far greater than my underground experience.

You could hire someone with one year of experience multiplied by thirty or

you could hire someone with thirty years experience.

Professional Experience:

Engineering and Management Services (1993 - present). As an African

expert, I provide project management and development services including:

. Crop compensation issues

. Sustainable development and coordination with NGOs.

. Commissioned and supervised baseline studies (5) that

resulted in successful EIA or EIS submissions. These studies

lead to operating mines (including Bibiani, Gold Fields Ghana

Damang, Golden Star's Wassaw, and Mpasetia).

. Prepared built facilities layouts including infrastructure

including; roads, camps and housing projects and installed

communication systems. Most of this was done with local

labour and materials.

Ltd., Tarkwa, Ghana My team increased annual gold production from 3

tonnes to nearly 4.5 tonnes with only a $700K capital investment and a

mining cost decrease from $1.40 per tonne to $0.84 per tonne.

cost estimating, mine planning and production scheduling, ore body

modeling, and equipment studies.

contractor.

Corporate Chief Engineer (1984-1988). Western States Minerals, Inc.,

Mine Engineer at the following mines: Drum Mine, Delta, UT; Portland Mine,

company.
