February 2021 – November 2021. Kinross Gold Corp, Chirano Gold Mine. Ghana.

Superintendent- Exploration & Resources(Surface and Underground Operations)

• I was accountable for all of the systems, people and processes for all exploration activities from target generation to handover of NI43-101 compliant resource models. I set standards, coordinate, and oversee the exploration programs and maintenance of the company’s concession by managing a team of employees and contractors to deliver all aspects of underground and surface exploration. Responsible for building and producing Resource models
  
• I was the site Responsible Person incharge of the Mine YE AMRSS reporting for Resources
  
• I Identified, evaluated, and recommend new exploration opportunities and ensure drill hole and exploration databases are validated and up to date so tehat geological interpretation can be adjusted as results are reported
  
• I was incharge of the company’s Resource/Reserve extension and growth strategy. Implementing technical and geological decisions that led to reserve addition in excess of 500koz in a single year leading to LOM extension from 2022 to 2025.

Senior Geologist-Resource Geology, Targeting and Brownfields Exploration (Surface and Underground Operations)

• I identified gaps and implemented agreed upon solutions; making recommendations for opportunities that maximized efficiency and productivity of the site Brownfield team. I designed RC/DD holes for ore targeting in the exploration department and supervised Deep diamond drilling (surface and underground) programs to aid resource conversion and definition.
  
• I provided geological and resource modeling support to operations and development projects. I built 3D models of geology, alteration and structures for interpretation using explicit and implicit modelling tools.
  
• I implemented advanced resource modeler and remodeled Mamnao Project at Chirano leading to significant resource additions that led to open pit restart in 2019.
  
• Detailed core structural logging, plotting and interpretation to aid targeting. Expert in structural interpretation in gold environment
  
• Followed up on New Targets areas by mapping, rock sampling and trenching to propose initial test drilling. I successfully mapped various exploration target leading to further drill shoot extension

• Responsible for resource estimation of the Wassa Mine (Mine Geology department)
  

Sept 2011 – March 2013 Golden Star Exploration, Ghana.

Senior Geologist- Targeting and Brownfields Exploration

• Designed a surface diamond drilling program that increased the mine life at the operation and identified new mineralised areas within the immediate mine area. I designed drill targets in consultation with VP Exploration, executed and ensured all sampling was done in accordance to JORC guidelines. This led to Wassa Mine intersecting underground targets for development. I supervised and excuted over 50,000m of DD/RC per year
  
• Structurally mapped and interpreted a 10Km scale folding event leading to further drill targets
