mineral processing plus the best practical methods for data sampling, handling and quality control.
Mineral Resource Estimation - key methods for resource estimation including linear and non-linear
techniques.
Dissertation – ‘An investigation into the chemical variation of the limestone in Swinden Quarry,
North Yorkshire, in respect to dust production.’ This involved designing and carrying a drilling
program to assess the quality of the rock in the quarry, chip logging and sampling of blastholes.
Fieldwork – Namibia, observations of various extractive operations such as Navachab gold mine and
Rosh Pinah underground lead zinc mine. Numerous excursions in the south west of England
observing current and historic extractive operations.
2005-2008 University of Lancaster BSc (Hons) Physical Geography and Geology

Relevant Modules:
 Geo-Environmental Engineering – The extraction, processing and uses of aggregates plus
geotechnical engineering. Also involved numerous visits to operations in the area to observe
extraction and processing methods.
 Managing the Geo-Environment – The environmental impact of mineral extraction, mineral
planning, contaminated land, water and waste management. Involved a fieldtrip to the Outer
Hebrides to observe Mineral extraction and the impact of these operations on the local
environment.
 Geological Techniques – studied the major rock types and minerals, optical mineralogy and basic
geological mapping.
 Dissertation – Geological Mapping of the Ardnamurchan Peninsular to the West of Kilchoan. The
fieldwork included three weeks camping on the peninsular and the final maps were created using
