Exploration geologist performing field survey, quality controls and interpreting of drill cores which led to explore shear zone Au deposit, porphyry Cu-Au mineralization zones and industrial minerals Key Responsibilities

Investigated field survey from district-scale reconnaissance to local explorations and sampling (soil, rocks, stream sediment, water)

Entered data in Excel, evaluated data and applied SPSS, SGeMS software for statistical data analysis and used CorelDraw and Surfer software for geological mapping and geochemical anomaly mapping

Interpreted geological / geochemical and geophysical Computerized data to identifying drilling targets

Tracked drilling program, core sampling/logging, followed QA/QC based on the company policies & standards and identified mineralized zones (Iran)

Laboratory Assistant 2009 –2010 Reza Ghavami Cell: 416-***-**** adkztt@r.postjobfree.com Page 2 of 2

Madan Negar Novien Company, MNNCo., and University Labs

Interacted directly with customers, advised and assisted clients with technical /non-technical information to select analytical methods

Registered the client’s information on the system, scheduled customer for results and labelled samples

Prepared samples/solutions, calibrated analytical instruments (XRF, XRD, Atomic Absorption)

Developed strategies to maintain quality control (QA/QC and SOPs) based on the Certified Reference materials, CRM, or internal standards, analyzed samples and prepared reports for client/supervisor

Reduced 10% turnaround time and 10% of laboratory analytical costs by identification of the system delay and collaboration with partner laboratories (Iran) VOLUNTEER EXPERIENCE

Junior Exploration Geologist 2006 –2008 Kumba Resource Ltd., South Africa

Project Highlights

Data management: Identified and resolved issues of a giant database, problem-solving through field investigation, QA/QC controls, core logging & data interpretation which led to explore new mineralized zones Key Responsibilities and Accomplishments

Investigated issue of areas with non-overlapped geochemical and geophysical (IP/RS) anomalies, identified and solved the problem through:

Developed further surface investigation and core sampling in three adjacent mines, analyzed samples by Electron Microprobe & ICP analytical methods and modelled mineral geochemical data

Applied model on Kumba giant data (20,000 rock assays), identified and prioritized mineralization zones

Developed a new mineral geochemistry pattern by further explorations, modeled dataset by using SAS software and applied model on Kumba’s giant data which led to identifying new mineralization zones EDUCATION
