Summaryofpersonalexpertice
June 1998-March 1999, May 2004 - 2024 (~21 years)
- Well understood the mineral exploration at various tectonic settings (metamorphic and ultramafic terrane, orogenic belt & island arc) and 4 years in open pit mine geology and 2 years underground at Kainantu mine. Abroad exposure in Alluvial and primary gold mineralization in Eastern Africa Mozambique and geotechnical engineering surface and underground.
Geological Ore Systems:
- Alluvial gold mining and Ruby mining (Gabo Delgado Mozambique Eastern Africa)
- Bauxite Exploration Manus Province
- Porphyry Cu-Au system, Skarn & Breccia hosted mineralization (OK Tedi Deposit)
