À propos

Junior geologist specialized in mineral exploration, graduated top of class from the Master's program in Mineral Resources, Geomaterials and Environment. Proven field experience in geological mapping, sampling, core/outcrop logging and petrographic description, gained across several exploration projects in Mauritania and Algeria (alkaline massifs, skarn deposits, polymetallic occurrences, iron ore). Skilled in QA/QC protocols, geochemical data processing (ICP, AAS, XRD) and GIS software (ArcGIS, QGIS, MapInfo). Rigorous, autonomous and used to teamwork on exploration sites, with additional experience in technical teaching in geology.
