I have experience working and consulting to mines with a wide range of rockmass conditions and with many types of mining methods, from scoping studies to feasibility studies. My experience includes large-scale mechanised methods such as caving and open stoping as well as hand-held... Since November 2005 I have been working as an independent mining/geotechnical consultant. I am available for; mining method selection and reviews; geotechnical input for mine planning and feasibility studies; stope stability and dilution studies;..
