About

• GIM Suite Beginner 1000
• GIM Suite Practitioner 2000
• AIG Short Course: Geophysics for the Exploration Geologist

Regular Duties

• Analysis and authoring of geological and geospatial data using Python and GIS tools, enabling collaboration with geologists to drive decisions and achieve exploration outcomes.
• Designed and managed ETL (Extract, Transform, Load) operations to process a variety of data streams, enabling timely integration into business and analytical systems.
• Managed and maintained the site geological database using acQuire GIM Suite and MS SQL Server, in order to meet business requirements and ensure data quality.
• Creating spatial products and maps using ArcGIS Pro, to support ongoing safety, scientific, and environmental tasks.
• Maintained integration of data products with 3D CAD tools (Leapfrog Geo, Deswik, Datamine) to support data availability and align data specifications with team requirements.

Achievements

• Developed a suite of custom geospatial/GIS tools in Python (ArcPy, Matplotlib, GeoPandas, SciPy), resulting in significant time savings to formerly manual tasks.
• Developed tools enabling integration of hyperspectral mineralogical (XRD and SEM) data captured at draw points to inform metallurgical outcomes.
• Identified opportunity to use Machine Learning (ML) to extract quantitative data from exploration logging comments, developed a project proposal and begun preliminary work.
• Managed site-wide migration to new database platform, involving design and programming of input forms and data visualisation objects in consultation with a range of stakeholders, in order to create a user-friendly and robust geo-data platform that works for our team.
• Applied evidence-based data visualisation techniques across the business using Power BI, Python, and Arena to communicate complex geospatial data to stakeholders.
• Maintained version control, CI/CD, issue tracking, automation, and collaboration across development projects using GitHub and GitHub Actions.
• Developed and championed a set of cartographic standards and documentation to ensure consistency of presentation across map products and improve collaboration.

• Conducted regular QAQC analysis of captured data (geological, geotechnical) and geochemical assay data, ensuring integrity and auditability of data
• Analysed and interpreted hyperspectral flyover data using ENVI and ioGAS to identify alteration patterns via spectral unmixing techniques, aiding exploration targeting.
• Analysed pit structural data using LiDAR packages (LAStools) and Deswik, contributing to a feasibility study structural model and increasing confidence in geotechnical plans.
• Conducted detailed lithological and structural logging, data collection, and interpretation of drill products to support exploration objectives.
• Produced detailed reports and recommendations for exploration programs using a variety of data analysis and spatial analysis techniques, including litho-geochemical analysis in ioGAS, geophysical mapping using pyGMI, and geological modelling and structural interpretation using 3D CAD software, enabling review of exploration outcomes and future planning.
• Creation of consistent and clear mapping products using ArcGIS Pro, used in the planning, execution, and reporting of exploration projects in line with team objectives.
• Planning and management of the execution of exploration programs, including permitting, stakeholder engagement, and risk assessment, ensuring the delivery of stated goals.

• Maintained rigorous QAQC of operation data in Datashed and MS Access databases.
• Programmed tools for automation, error checking, and input sanitisation of collected data using VBScipt and TCL script.
• Managed drill programs, involving hole planning, site inspection, contractor management, and processing of drilling logs and data.
• Helped guide mine planning decisions with geological reviews of development and stope performance, taking into account geological and geometalurgical parameters.
• Conducting operational geology responsibilities in an underground mine, including detailed backs mapping, face sampling and grade control, and drill rig project management.
• Contributed to new database design using best practice principles and stakeholder engagement.

• Conducted detailed structural and lithological logging of west wall drill program.
• Created workflow and data processing pipeline to log and process downhole televiewer data, allowing for integration with mine geotechnical model.
• Reviewed, interpreted, planned, and modelled a variety of structural and lithological data in 3D CAD software (Leapfrog Geo).
