Before joining academy, he worked over a decade in international projects for mining, geotechnics and groundwater industry and/or academia related to geodynamics and regional geology, hard-rock hydrogeology and water resources, engineering geosciences and applied geomorphology, rock engineering and georesources.
Compared with the ninjas, the multinationals and the development banks that will help raise the largest-ever project financing for mining can at least claim to be part of the solution.
"The operating and project environment for mining companies remains challenging, with shortages in key mining supplies and skills leading to continued industry wide cost pressure," chief executive Leigh Clifford Leigh Clifford said.
