What is your current role?

Exploration Geologist for Newmont Australia

What role has geophysics played in your career so far as a geologist?

Quite a lot to be honest. It has helped me and our exploration team develop new targets and vector to mineralisation especially in Kalgoorlie and the Tanami region. Also, assisting fellow geologists in understanding how to interpret the data and the value of geophysics and petrophysics in mineral exploration.
