What I'm looking for

I’m seeking a Grade Controller role where I can apply my geology and mineral analysis experience to optimize resource management, ensure quality control, and contribute to sustainable mining practices.

At Black Royalty Minerals, I worked as a Junior Mine Geologist / Grade Controller, managing mine grade control to produce coal that met market specifications. I monitored laboratory results during stockpile creation and recorded final results to authorize dispatch.

I conducted surveys and interpreted geological data to inform drilling and production procedures. My work also included in-pit sampling, geological mapping, and daily quality and coal availability reports.

At Makole Group, I contributed to prospecting work programmes and drew geology and prospecting plans using ARC GIS. I also took part in drilling and core logging for Watchtienbietjieskop, now known as Chilwavhusiku Colliery.

I studied geology focused on ore deposits at the University of KwaZulu-Natal and am studying economics at Unisa. My training includes stockpile management best practices, Planet GIS, ArcGIS, and Microsoft Excel 2010 Intermediate.
