Bio

Highly experienced and professional open cut Mining Engineer. Over 30 years of onsite and consulting experience with all facets of open cut mining. I provide a one stop shop where I do all of the initial discussions, the proposals, the technical scope of works, report writing, invoicing, administration and direct liaison with the client throughout the process. I specialise in block model preparation, pit optimisations, pit shell selection, pit designing, mine scheduling, report writing and all related mine planning activities. I have signed off on several projects around the world as CP for JORC (2012) and as QP for NI 43-101. I have a unique “four stage process” system (The 4SP) that assists operating mines to gain between 5% to 20% in increased cashflow. Please call me if you want to discuss! I predominantly work from my home office in Perth but are more than happy to work in a client’s office or to go to site and assist with mentoring and training of fellow mining engineers. I hold a Bachelor of Mining Engineering (B.Eng) from WASM, are a Fellow with the AusIMM and hold an unrestricted Quarry Manager’s Certificate of Competency (WA).
