ABOUT DEREK KINAKIN
I am a rock mechanics and engineering geology specialist with experience in rock mass characterization, discontinuity characterization, rock excavation design, rock foundation design, slope deformation monitoring, numerical modeling of large rock slope failures, karst hazards, and subsidence assessment. I am proficient with industry standard modeling packages and regularly build custom analysis tools using the Python programming language. I have a strong understanding of exploration and development projects; having successfully completed multiple open pit design projects at the preliminary economic assessment, pre-feasibility, and feasibility levels of study. I have managed multi-disciplinary teams on complex resource development assignments. I currently support operating open pit mines targeting poly-metallic VMS and copper porphyry ore bodies. Specialties: Engineering geology; rock mechanics; open pit mine slope design; rock foundations; karst
