Work History

Process Leach Operator

Nevada Gold Mines/Newmont
Winnemucca, NV
09.2009 - 04.2019

As an operator, I was responsible for working safely, following all safety rules and regulations, and also following all environmental regulations. Reporting all issues to my immediate supervisor. Including the ability to work on my own at times.

Responsible for various environmental compliance and monitoring sample systems, including instrumentation. Pulled solution samples and monitored them for chemical levels of cyanide and pH levels. I also ran samples on the AA machine for gold content in the preg, and barren solutions. Recording operator data, such as flow meters and pond levels, is part of the daily routine for an operator, which includes monitoring the water treatment plant.

When not performing plant operator functions, I was part of the leach pad crew that installed piping, drip tubes, or sprinklers. When working on the leach pad, I operated ATVs and UTVs.
