      Working at PMC Lab, a mineralogical and metallurgical laboratory, I have been involved in minerals processing projects, while using applied mineralogy methods for the screening and selection of technologies. Applied mineralogy for process optimization and troubleshooting. Implement and manage flotation bench test work programs using mineralogical information to streamline the lab test design. Compute flotation and leaching recoveries, extraction and release curves, develop material balance calculations, and suggest basic flowsheets.

    • Mineralogy Technician
      • Dec 2017 - Jun 2018

      • Ensured completion of laboratory activities following the operating procedures and safety requirements• Completed sample inventories, mineralogical polished section preparation, and applied mineral processing techniques such as heavy liquid separation, gravity concentration, and flotation• Proactively brainstormed ideas with the supervisor to come up with faster methods to concentrate minerals for mineralogical studies • Operated bench grinding mills, filters, screen shaker, concentration tables, centrifugal concentrator, flotation machine, and cyclosizer• Streamlined the sample’s testing and processing by implementing prioritized project timelines
