Shane Stradling

Nearly 17 years of technical and management experience from multiple underground and surface sites, successful leadership and collaboration with wide-ranging project development, improvement, and growth. As Mineral Resource Manager for NGM’s Cortez region, I am responsible for safely delivering short- and long-term value, while ensuring orebody knowledge drives long term strategy and a sustainable business plan. Safely producing on plan with a team of 64 geologists, resource geologists, drill services representatives, core shed technicians and various surface and underground drilling contractors, requires good communication, project and team alignment, agility, ownership and determination to follow industry best practices. I have shown many supervisors that I can be a valuable asset through collaboration, credibility, and trust; having the ability to quickly adapt to new assignments of all sizes and contribute effectively to the scope of any project.
