Ludwich Visser, I have been employed as a Geologist for more than 25 years in various capacities including project, exploration and production work in opencast(12 years) and underground mining environments in different commodities, i.e. coal, gold, platinum, gas and oil. During my career I obtained firsthand experience in all facets of exploration and mine geology including planning of exploration projects, staking, logging and sampling of boreholes, interpretation of geo-physical logs, data capturing and validation, maintaining of geological databases, geological modeling, resource estimation, QAQC requirements, report writing and the compilation of budgets. I was the competent person for various projects and reported on resources according to SAMREC and JORC codes. I am trained and competent in geological modeling and database software(Minex, Micromine GBIS / GEOBANK, Deswik and Microstation CAD). I worked as Superintendent (Chief) Geologist at Middelburg Colliery for more than ten years. During this period I have guided Middelburg Colliery to be very successful in reliable mine planning processes to constantly achieve predicted production targets. I was involved in many initiatives to continuously improve on systems and processes to the benefit of the company. I was mentor and coach for a number of graduates and students and successfully trained many of the current South32/Seriti personnel. I see myself as having a thorough knowledge of modeling software and processes and have trained and guided numerous geologists in the use of Micromine GBIS / GEOBANK and Minex modeling software. I am a believer and supporter of sound safety values and principles which I believe is the cornerstone for any successful business. I was responsible for maintaining safety standards for fellow colleagues and contractors according to the MHSA and acted as a Single point of accountability (SPA) and maintaining contractor packs for contractors. My aim is to be employed as a geologist in a production or project environment. I see myself as a hardworking individual who can function independently on a professional level. With many years of experience I have much to offer as geologist to the mining industry.
