EXPERIENCE
Century Mining Corporation, Mine Lamaque September-November 2011
Val-d’Or, Quebec, Canada
Engineer
Computer programs developed and ran, engineering calculations, mine ventilation net for North Wall calculation, schematic suggested, suggested improvements to the existed net including number of fans and doors and their types and fan capacity. Presented results to a senior engineer.
Hurley Group, Sudbury, Ontario, Canada July-August 2009
Engineer
Fan characteristics formulas research and according to these formulas first level of calculations was done to determine if these formulas match to certain types of fan that were produced by Hurley group (several types of fan were used for different mines of INCO Ltd. developments). Because software for fan characteristics calculations did not exist at the time O. Johnson developed Microsoft programs for each characteristic separately and one total program for all of them. These programs were edited by O. Johnson and run after a series of calculations. The calculations of fan characteristics for different types of fan were performed. Identified, developed, and scoped out ventilation design for studies of mine ventilation net was produced. For INCO Ltd. a number of mine ventilation net calculations were done using VnetPC software program. Mine ventilation characteristics for the certain type of shaft and mine were identified and inserted into the database; the first version of schematic of mine ventilation net was developed. Review of the fresh air and return air rises locations was done. Airflows in shafts were determined and their values were inserted into the program (VnetPC software program) together with other characteristics taken from database. The first part of mine ventilation net calculations was done. The correction of characteristics was done and the rest of calculation was performed. Airflows, Resistances, and other characteristics were calculated. The improved schematic of the mine ventilation net including Fans, Regulators, and Doors location was developed. The types of Fans, Regulators, and Doors were determined and recommended. The Report was written (also using AutoCAD software program for illustrations) and included in Final Study Report.
Hurley Group, Sudbury, Ontario, Canada October2008-January 2009
Engineer
Fan characteristics research was done, some Microsoft programs were created and run, and a number of calculations for different types of fans were done. Prepared Ventilation Design Basis: Airflow requirements were reviewed and finalized. For INCO Ltd. operations mine ventilation characteristics for the certain type of shaft and mine were identified and inserted into the database; the first version of schematic of mine ventilation net was developed. Review fresh air and return an air rises location was done. Airflows in shafts and mine were determined and their values were inserted into the program (VnetPC software program) together with other characteristics taken from database. Modeling simulation was prepared. The first part of mine ventilation net calculations was done. The correction of characteristics was done and the rest of calculation was performed. Airflows, Resistances, and other characteristics were calculated. The improved schematic of the mine ventilation net including Fans, Regulators, and Doors location was developed. The types of Fans, Regulators, and Doors were determined and recommended. The Report was written (also using AutoCAD software program for illustrations) and included in Final Study Report.
Hurley Group, Sudbury, Ontario, Canada June 2008 – July 2008
Associate (Research Scientist)
The research for fan characteristics was performed. All the formulas found for calculations were checked and analysed. The database of fan characteristics was created. For different types of fan produced by Hurley Group fan characteristics were calculated using the Microsoft programs created by Olga Johnson.
SRK Consulting, Sudbury, Ontario, Canada January 2007 – December 2007
Associate (Engineer)
For Timmins Gold Mine Project airflow in mine and shafts was determined; review of the fresh air and return air raises locations was done; diesel equipment list c/w horse power was done; other characteristics for mine were calculated and the results were inserted into the database. The first round of calculations of mine ventilation network was done using VnetPC software program. Fan’s type was determined, analysed, and recommended. Input for Fans and Heater House GA drawings was done (in general). Schematic showing Fans was developed. Ventilation drawings and plans were prepared. CAPEX and OPEX were prepared and analysed. Ventilation report was written and included in final study report.

For Dr. J. Partyka in Laurentian University, Sudbury Ontario, Canada.
Teaching Assistant
Selected and reviewed publications on software programs on Mine ventilation; selected Mine ventilation publications and entered publications into a database on ventilation problems and Canada Mine Regulations; analyzed results and gave recommendations on effectiveness of existed software programs; reviewed student’s assignments.
The topic of Thesis includes: natural heating and cooling of intake air passing through fragmented strata and natural ventilation from old mine areas into a mine according to environmental regulations requirements. Developed mathematical solution for determination of mine rock temperature under weather conditions; made engineering calculations of temperature fields in mine broken rock areas, and air passing to the mine temperature and properties; prepared oral and written reports and wrote scientific article (published in May 2004).
