After graduating in 2013 with Bsc Honors in Geology and Mathematics at the University of Johannesburg, I have acquired 8 years experience in mining industry as a senior mine geologist in the Bushveld complex. I would like to contribute more in the industry as a whole not only geology but all other affected stakeholders in the industry in terms of improving the systems and standards. I have gained exploration skills, leadership, sampling, mapping, grade control, co-ordination, mentoring and data analysis skills. Gaining more experience in management roles, resource estimation and understanding in detail the functions in the processing of ore. My short term goals would be to learn and familiarize myself with the role as a geologist, interacting with the other stakeholders, whereas my long term goals would be to make a huge contribution and improve the systems in the industry through technological instruments. I am an ambitious and goal driven individual ready to serve and learn in the mining industry. Senior Mine Geologist
