Middle Range Mine Planning/Scheduling/Design,
Geo Block Modeling, Mine Engineering Modeling, Dyke/Tailing Modeling

• Was responsible for the development of long-range mine and tailing scheduling through the remainder of the mine life, consistent with production requirements, and product output
• Effectively conducted studies of bitumen-fines co-variogram to be used in Covariance-Krigging interpolation
• Successfully created a sensitivity simulation model. I varied uncertainties by proportional relative elevations of facie groupies and formations
• Successfully converted the geological block model to the variable bench height model (GSM) for mine planning
• Successfully redesigned and modeled a constructible dyke#1 with multiple-material block model to be used in volume calculation with MineSight™
• Successfully created a mathematical model to find the bulk ratio and its sensitivity in beach and MFT according to the production progress and the new regulation requirement
• Successfully created final pits with Lerch-Grossmann optimization under a multiple set of economic parameters, (e.g. TV/BIP=12, oil price and mining cost) and complex slopes constraints with MineSight Economic Planner™
• Successfully developed detailed plans and schedules with Xpac Auto Scheduler™ for ore and overburden mining and disposal for life of mine plans for the Horizon project. The plans include material movement and balance, scheduling of mine advances and all associated activities under the bitumen, fines and D50 grades constraints
• Severed as a resource of geo-statistics, and economics theories

• Provided consulting and technical services in mining engineering and geology software for US and Canadian companies including Colorado School of Mine, CNRL, Synenco Energy Inc, Exm Associates, Moose Mountain, Norwest Corporation, Sim Geological Inc, Imperial Metals Corp., Norwest Corp., Quadra Mining, Imperial Metals, Teck Coal (Elk Valley), Grande Cache Coal
• Successfully solved hundreds of issues related to mining applications including 3D-CAD design, geo statistics data analysis, modeling, pit optimization analysis, cut of grade analyst, mine activity planning and long term scheduling optimization
• Specialized in 3D block modeling, GSM modeling, Krigging interpolation and ore control for sedimentary deposit such as industrial clay, coal and oil sands
• Conducted studies in an oil sands project for McMurray formation, including tagging mineable blocks, TV/BIP analysis, geotech/rose diagrams, recovery function
• Conducted studies in optimized complex slopes pit with Lerch-Grossmann method under stripping ratio constrain
