  • Aug 2019 - Sep 2019

  > Over 10,000m of drill core logging (new and historic) exploration holes, across a stacked multi-lens VMS system, focusing on detailed alteration relationships to mineralisation. > Integrated, detailed lithological and alteration core logging/mapping, mag sus, XRF and WR datasets in Leapfrog to develop and visualise (litho)geochemical exploration vectors and the 1st 3D alteration model of the mine. > Conducted WR and thin-section sampling across the alteration facies, for both near mine and regional prospects to geochemically support core observations, validating vectors. Data was analysed in IoGAS. >Reported all findings directly to the Principle Geologist of Africa Region in the form of weekly memos and meetings. > Other responsibilities included drill core orientation, structural measurements (α, β) & core sampling adhering to QAQC procedures. Assisted geophysical teams with EM surveys both on surface and UG and conducted UG mapping. Completed full risk assessment for personal safety, travelling in and from Burkina Faso and site work on a high security UG mine Show less
