I have broad production-based experience in precious and base metals. I am a mining engineer with concrete and extensive knowledge of multiple methods of underground mining as well as their design and scheduling through 26 years and 4 continents of progressive mining exposure. Covered in that are various levels of studies, economic analysis, selection of mining methods, selection of equipment, design plans, cost estimation, and scheduling and management of production and technical services departments. I have also designed and optimized open pits for drill and blast mining as well as gravel pits for borrow sources. My environmental experience covers permitting, compliance and reclamation of underground and surface mining sites as well as the expansion of a tailings pond.
