Orchestrated and oversaw annual core drilling initiatives, collaborating seamlessly with drilling and helicopter service providers as well as government agencies to ensure the successful execution of projects. Generated regional thickness and coal quality grids through comprehensive analysis of core data, effectively mitigating risks for future mining.• Produced seam thickness and coal quality grids to model tonnage and coal quality, leveraging grid outputs to inform coal blending specifications. This strategic approach had a substantial impact on company revenue, optimizing product quality and market competitiveness. seam thickness and coal quality grids to model produced tonnage and coal quality, with grid outputs instrumental in determining coal blending specifications, significantly impacting company revenue.• Conducted meticulous interpretation of the active longwall panel, precisely delineating upper and lower mining horizons for deterministic coal quality modeling. This critical contribution empowered the mining team to make informed adjustments to the mining horizon, resulting in a notable 2-5% improvement in produced coal ash content.• Conducted cross-sectional interpretations for three rock slope entries to a lower coal seam, precisely identifying stratigraphic interburden changes and predicting horizon-slope intersections, resulting in improved blasting and mining rates.• Methodically collected and meticulously cataloged more than 40 in-mine samples at one-foot vertical intervals, establishing a high-resolution dataset that played a pivotal role in accurately forecasting sulfur production.
