Summary
Started mining in 2012. Drove haul truck for two years. Learned how to top land and nip in between opportunities my time at Cortez Hills Underground.
In 2014 made the move to Newmont/NGM Underground at Pete Bajo. Operated Haul truck, and quickly learned and picked up on shotcrete, running utilities, and powder. All during my first three years here. Operated and practiced lot of mucking, remote mucking, remote jamming, remote drop stope filling. Overlapping with training opportunities to bolt and drill. Bolting experiences I have Sandvik 310/311/312, Epiroc MC/M10. I have installed Swellex, MAI, and Nevada bolts from standard 8’ support to 16’ long support.
