B. Profile
I am a hard working team geologist and I enjoy exceeding production targets. I look forward to associate with mineral exploration and mining firm to achieve success as a geologist because I motivated by discovering new mineral deposits and achieving production targets.
I am having 8 years exploration and mining experience in India, 5 years exploration experience in South Africa, Mozambique and Zimbabwe; and specialized in reconnaissance study, prospecting, regional exploration and detailed exploration techniques and capable of provide technical support for mine planning and execution.
I am having experience in exploration of precious elements associated with chromite and pegmatite deposits, and provided services in coal exploration, iron ore exploration and mining, kimberlitic pipes exploration, base metal exploration, and gold bearing quartz veins exploration and dimensional stone quarrying and reconnaissance.
