Gold mine, Ontario, 2019: Feasibility level mine planning, mine design, ventilation design, and air heating system design for the expansion of an existing gold mine with a production capacity of 800 tonnes per day using cut & fill and long hole stoping.
Zinc mine, British Columbia, 2018: Scoping level ventilation design and mine air heating system design for a 4,000 tonnes per day stoping Zinc mine.
Zinc – Lead – Silver mines, Yukon, 2018: Scoping level study of two underground stoping Zinc-Lead-Silver mines at a combined production rate of 5,000 tonnes per day. Each mine is planned to produce about 3,500 tonnes per day at their peak. Responsible for mine ventilation design and mine air heating systems design.
Gold – Silver mine, British Columbia, 2016: Detailed study of ventilation system, including peer review of the airflow requirement estimation from previous feasibility study and feasibility study updates of a 2,700 tonnes per day longhole stoping gold-silver mine.
Nickel – Copper mines, Newfoundland and Labrador, 2014: Responsible for FEL3 level ventilation design and mine air heating design of two separate underground nickel-copper mines. One mine used drift & fill, post pillar cut & fill, and longhole stoping mining methods to produce at a rate of about 2,700 tonnes per day. The other mine used longhole stoping to produce at a rate of 4,500 tonnes per day.
