This is the first company i worked for as a Professional Geologist. I was employed as Junior Mining Geologist in Grade Control section. My day to day job involve core and drill cutting description and recording, Rock sample result interpretation and ore excavation supervision.
Work schedule arrangement consist of 10 Day work followed by 4 days holiday with daily working hours roughly 7am to 7pm.
The Gold accumulation was controlled by Penjom thrust which is NE-SW trending. The gold mineralisation stopped at the fault due to higher carbon content. Initially, the mine was extracted via shaft methodology before open pit mine was used. There was recent effort to revive the shaft method but restricted due to HSE and cost issues.
When I Passed by the area now, seems it had been taken over by another Company
