Track Record

  • At Premier open cut coal WA, Daniel worked as a Mining Engineer and assisted in developing a traffic management plan since the traffic interaction can be complex for a large-scale open cut coal mine. He reviewed past incidents not just at Premier Coal, to identify the root causes of these incidents, analysed, and worked towards a suitable solution to provide improvements for preventing these incidents.
  • He worked as an underground miner for Pajingo Gold Mine QLD where he was tasked to develop and update the underground ventilation plan for the site. This involved being abreast of all relevant standards, legislations, and regulations along with assessing the ventilation circuits.
  • Daniel gained valuable experience in working with WA Mines inspectorate as a mining analyst. In this role he gathered information regarding the mine incident and submitted it to the lead inspector for further improvements on allocating resources effectively for monitoring various mine sites, hence improving the overall safety from a governmental perspective as the regulatory body.
  • At Pajingo gold mine, he was involved in the extraction of backfilled stope by using a sub-level shrinkage cave method, the total cost for using the Orica’s newest Webgen wireless electronic detonator system. In this role Daniel gained insightful exposure with micro-scale sub-level cave mining method with using the latest blast technology. He has also gained good exposure in a complex sub-level cave mining environment with Capricorn Copper mine.
