WORK HISTORY
Site Manager @International Resources Holding
ZM
I am an Underground Exploration and Drilling Leader with 14+ years of international mining experience across Africa, the Middle East and Asia. My career spans surface exploration, deep underground operations and resource delineation, with a proven track record of driving copper and gold discoveries.I have successfully led meters of surface diamond drilling in Zambia, resulting in a copper discovery that progressed into step-out and infill drilling programs to define ore body geometry for resource and reserve estimation.Currently, I manage deep-level underground drilling operations in active hard rock mining environments, operating at depths of up to 1.8 km below surface. I lead multidisciplinary underground teams, plan and execute exploration and delineation drilling programs, oversee structural and lithological core logging, implement QA/QC protocols, manage contractors, and integrate geological data into 3D models for resource planning.I thrive in high-pressure, production-linked settings, bridging technical accuracy with operational leadership. My expertise includes structural and lithological core logging, resource modeling, QA/QC systems, contractor management and drill program optimization. I am passionate about leveraging my international experience to deliver discoveries, optimize exploration programs and support resource growth in compliance-driven mining jurisdictions.
