I attained my Bachelor’s Degree in Geology at University of Zimbabwe where during the course of my studies I developed a strong admiration and enthusiasm for Geology in every core field of Geology. My recent degree was a bit challenging but was able to horn my skills in analysis, reading and understanding the ore deposit studies, exploration geology, ore resource quantification and the ability to manage time and work under pressure. My dissertation was entitled, “The Geology of the Shamva pegmatites: emphasis on lithium mineralization”.
During my educational period, I managed to work as a production geologist as well as an exploration geologist at two gold mines in the Midlands greenstone belt under Rio Zim Corporations. I also managed to visit various mines in Zimbabwe for research analysis such as the Trojan Nickel mine, Mimosa mine.
