Michael's main area of focus is conducting geochemical characterization studies for proposed, existing, and closed mine site facilities. These studies involve assessing the ARD potential and metal mobility from mine materials (i.e. waste rock, tailings and marginal ore, etc.) and evaluating the results of the geochemical characterization in the context of mine water management strategies to predict site effluent water quality and evaluate potential impacts on the receiving environment surface water and groundwater quality.
Michael has extensive experience on several projects developing large-scale deterministic and stochastic multi-component models for existing and proposed mines using GoldSim and other geochemical software.
