WORKING
EXPERIANCE
EXPLORATION:
During own working experience worked different geological exploration; from prospect work (field mapping - basic geological map) to complex geological research. Participated in many projects, reports, elaborate, synthesis like member research teams or like author. Also, worked next geological explorations:
Mapping, reconnaissance and reambulation geological map (basic and detail research);
Projecting and mapping drill holes (more than 80000m) and underground works (more than 10000m) and open pits;
Geochemical exploration: planning, sampling and interpretation results (soil, rock cheep, stream sediments
Geophysics exploration (IP/Resistivity survey);
Planning and prepare different synthesis exploration: volcano-petrology studies, structure studies, studies about potentiality same areas in mineralization (Cu, Au, Pb, Zn, Mo…), synthesis of ore formation, studies about exploration hydrothermal altered zones; elaborate about ore reserves; study about dynamic exploitation deposits; pre and feasibility study….
Determination polish and thin section and etc.
The most of working experience explored minerals deposits: copper, gold and other metals minerals. Explore different genetic type copper, gold, lead, zinc and polymetalic deposits (massive sulphide, ore fragments, veins, stockwork-impregnation, porphyry, skarn, secondary sulphide enrichment, epithermal mineralization high and low sulfidation, occurrence gold in q-veins in Cambrium intrusive rocks and Paleozoic schist, gold bearing hydroquarzite…)
