Why did you want to work at your current site at Paracatu?
A well-rounded exploration geologist needs exposure to active mining environments to understand the realities of producing a prospective exploration project. Paracatu is unique in its size, with the opportunity to explore multiple facets of an active mining operation from daily ore control to longer-range strategic planning.
