Riaan Nel, Mining Engineer and Mine Geologist

About

+15 years of mining experience on surface, in shallow and deep mining, and +30 year of extensive experience in mining geology, exploration and mineral resource management of both tabular and irregular ore bodies, including consulting, mine design and mine planning, production supervision and equipping (section 2.13.1), data capturing (equipment, production) linked to engineering studies, geo-technical observation, and grade control (section 2.6.1), in manganese, chrome/ platinum, coal, fluorite, gold, uranium, and hydrothermal quartz vein gold/ base metals, that could serve a company well.

My qualifications in ND Surface mining, and 
ND Mining Engineering (obtained while working at several sites in order to gain experience), 
NDT Geology/ Geophysics, and a 
MTech Degree/ NHD Economic Geology (on par with BSc Hons. Geology, 
UJ Reference letter attached with CV), coupled with experience in Surpac, Datamine, AutoCAD, Surfer, Micromine - Pitram (vehicle tracking and grade control), and Microsoft Office suite, could well be applied in the company.

Me, holding both blasting certificates for surface and scheduled mines and a Magazine Masters appointment, could also serve the company well. I also assist in effective blast design, drilling and blasting due to my geological experience.

Although I haven't got a Mine Managers Certificate of Competence (MMCC), by virtue of my studies I have completed the A-part, did the B-part by working at different mining and geological environments during my studies, and covered the C-part of mining law during the examination in Mining Engineering.
