| Exploration Geologist | UAMCo. | | December 2002 till date | Riyadh | Currently working as a Project Manager (Geology & GIS) based at Bangalore. Worked for United Arabian Mining Company, based at Riyadh, Saudi Arabia as a Senior Geologist until November 2007. Responsibilities include satellite image interpretation, and field exploration for gold and base-metal deposits, supervision of drill-sites, litho-logging, sampling, database management, documenting technical reports and compilation of mining feasibility reports and project generation. Responsibilities also include training junior geologists, project generation and selecting new areas for precious and base-metal exploration.
Worked as an Exploration Geologist in Rio Tinto Exploration India Ltd based at Bangalore from 16th December 2002 till June2006, to explore new diamond pipe deposits in India. Work involves geological and geomorphologic mapping using satellite imagery, collection of gravel, soil, and auger samples for searching for indicator minerals in the preliminary survey. In the advanced exploration phase, geochemistry of various rock and soil samples for finding out primary sources for diamond resources, based on geophysical investigations, provinces comprising kimberlitic/ lamproite suites of rocks and interpretation of mineral probe results along with ground geophysical surveys. Elaborated experience in mapping and geochemical sampling methods, drill target identification. Worked in parts of Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Chhattisgarh and Madhya Pradesh states of India. Extensive work experience in diamond and as well as RAB drilling, litho logging and chronostratigraphic correlation, different types of core sampling, analysis and interpretation of results, pre-feasibility profile studies and safe methods of drilling. Was a team member in the discovery of diamondiferous lamproite pipe, Central Province,India. Logged >3000meters of Kimberlite core and supervised about 19 & 200 diamond & RAB holes respectively. Extensive use of GPS and GIS systems (MapInfo 7.5, Geosoft 5, ERMapper), digital terrain models, database maintenance and management. Experience in camp establishment, management and supervision in remote field areas. Working experience under HSEC system of international standards and formulated several SOPs. Extensive field work experience with expatriate geoscientists. | | Senior Consultant | Geo Information Systems and Technologists | | January 2002 to December 2002 | Hyderabad | | Worked as a Senior Consultant from 1 January 2002 to 14 December at Geo Information Systems & Technologists (GIST), Hyderabad, India recognized by the Department of Space, Govt. of India. Work involved geological mapping, geostructural delineation, geomorphologic mapping and hydrological data collection in the field with the aid of satellite data. The data collected was integrated to prepare Groundwater Target Zone Mapping. By virtue of thier multiplicity these maps can be used for different applications for sustainable development. Conversion of the spatial geo-technical data to digital form was done by GIS software like ERDAS and Arc\Info. Other responsibilities included geo-environmental surveys, civil foundation studies. | | Research Fellow | National Remote Sensing Agency | | August 1999 to December 2001 | Hyderabad | Worked as a Research Fellow Scientist in Earth sciences at the National Remote Sensing Agency(Hyderabad), Department of Space, Government of India since August 1999 till December 2001 under the Rajiv Gandhi National Drinking Water Mission’s project. The work involves preparation of Groundwater Prospects Maps on 1:50000 scale for different states of India with the aid of IRS 1C/D LISS III FCC data interpretation and GIS. The software used were ARC\INFO 7.2.1 and ERDAS 8.3 & 8.4.The project involved visual interpretation of satellite imagery/remotely sensed data for delineation of geology, geomorphology, structures, hydrology of the terrain, ground truth along with collection of hydrological and test pumping data and finally generation of an integrated map along with digital database using GIS software.Extensive experience in geomorphological,structural and geological mapping with the aid of remote sensing data.
Worked for few pilot projects of Metrowater Supply,Hyderabad, environmental appraisal studies of Limestone mining areas in Kutch,Gujarat etc. | | Lecturer | Kakatiya University | | June 1995 to June 1997 | Kothagudem | Worked as a lecturer on contract basis in Geology at the Post-Graduate Center, Kothagudem (affiliated to Kakatiya University, Warangal) for 2 years (1995-1997). During this University level teaching, taught subjects viz., Mineral Exploration, Structural Geology, Mineralogy, Stratigraphy, Sedimentology, Palaeontology, Environmental Geology, to M.Sc.(Geology) and Basic Geology, Mining Geology, Engineering Geology, Ore-genesis, Structural Geology to B.E.(Mining) curricula. Conducted Geological Field Trips,Mine visits and Systematic Geological Mapping Programmes for post-graduate students in addition to class room teaching.
In addition to the above I also worked as an artist/illustrator and co-author for one year (1994-1995) for Geology Text books of Bachelor level course under Telugu Academy, Government of Andhra Pradesh, India. |
