Bio
Colin Porter
I have worked with Michael on a number of projects. His work has always been to a high standard and most importantly, his extensive expertise in modelling processes and procedures is backed by a strong knowledge of practical structural geology. Micheal is a pleasure to work with and has always been open to discuss and develop models with geologists and managers on site. I would not hesitate to use Michael again in the future.

Mike and I worked together at UraMin Inc/Areva Resources Southern Africa during the period 2007 to 2011, where he was initially the greenfields Exploration Geologist and senior Project Geologist in South Africa, and later Assistant Geoscience Manager in the Central African Republic and finally as Exploration Manager in South Africa. Mike was an integral member of the geoscience team, both in the day to day execution of site-specific operational and administrative activities, but also in providing assistance for management decision making, implementation and execution. Mike’s dedication to his work and his positive attitude resulted in him always achieving his goals and delivering on requirements, no matter the circumstances. As an out-of-the-box thinker, Mike always found solutions to overcome challenges, while his attitude towards his colleagues made him very well-liked and respected. I have kept in contact with Mike during his tenure at Bloy/Seequent, and have on a number of occasions made use of his consulting services, to which I have always received professional and outstanding services of the highest quality.
