  BHPWorking across the Minerals Australia Assets to analyse and improve geological processesKey Achievements• Implemented Measure While Drilling (MWD) data integration from overburden drill rigs to short term modelling• Scoped and developed the proposed process to lithological log and auto correlate boreholes from geophysical data automatically.• Ran a successful Hyperspectral trial to determine if any relationships/proxies between coal quality results and spectral reflectance exist. • Business Partner for Geological modelling across Minerals Australia.

• Lead Geologist - Area 4 (Acting Role)

  • Apr 2016 - Sep 2016

  BHP BillitonSupervise a team of 4 Geologists responsible for the Daunia, South Walker Creek and Poitrel Minesites and associated neighboring tenures.Key AchievementsDeveloped a team of geologists in the techniques required to:• Plan and execute short to long term exploration programs, • Validate and model Coal quality and structural geological data• Liaise with mine site staff to identify key geological risks and determine mitigation measures• Plan and project manage the key geological activities for a feasible studies.

• Principal Resource Geologist

  • Jun 2012 - Oct 2015

  BHP Billiton Mitsui Coal (BMC)Geological model and report resources for BMC assets (Exploration results and Resource estimates). Plan and peer review the short and long-term exploration plans for the BMC assets in a budget constrained environment. Liaise with mine site geologists on short term modelling processes. QA/QC coal quality programs and audit laboratories.Key Achievements• Acting Manager of BMC Geological Services for 9 months• Director of CBM Innovations through transition to independent company• Developed a process to incorporate washability data into the metallurgists CHPP model – Resulted in an efficient method to more accurately model and estimate multi-product yields• Focused Management on the key geological risks being experienced at the operations – which resulted in approval of exploration budgets in a very constrained environment.• Calculated fugitive emissions and signed off as an estimator for the BMC assets – Received HSEC award recognising significant savings for the business.• Geological lead on various feasibility studies – Resulted in BHP Billiton approval for MRA 2A creek diversion project ($90M Capex – Phase 1); Kemmis Pit extension ($20M Capex).
