Experienced geologist specializing in mine geology, geotechnical assessment, and mapping.
PhilippinesWhat I'm looking for
I am an engineering and mine geologist with hands-on experience in underground and open-pit settings, providing geotechnical assessments, mapping, and ground control recommendations to support safe, efficient mining operations.
At Apex Mining Co. I conduct engineering geological and geotechnical assessments for underground workings, apply the Q-System for rock mass classification, and produce structural geology maps and geotechnical reports that inform ground support and hazard mitigation.
Previously at Greenstone Resources Corporation I led mine geology activities including grade control, geological and geohazard mapping, ore reconciliation, database management, and model updates using Surpac, Leapfrog, QGIS, and ArcGIS to improve data integrity and operational decision-making.
I hold a B.S. in Geology and professional certifications including the Geologist Licensure Examination, Civil Service Examination, and BOSH II training; I prioritize safety, rigorous fieldwork, and collaborative alignment with mine planning and operations.
