Project Geotechnical Consultant to Infinity Lithium Corporation for their proposed Dry Stacked Tailings Storage Facility (DSTSF). Evaluation of Scoping Study prepared by others and preparation of PFS dry stacking design for the 30-year life of project.

Project Manager for the geotechnical aspects of mine infrastructure, including the plant site and the tailings storage facility. Evaluation of filtered tailings in a HDPE lined valley TSF (start up through to closure). Preparation of evaluation reports, technical review and client liaison.

Project Geotechnical Consultant, Scoping Study Tailings Storage Facility (TSF), for the proposed300 Mt Project. Geotechnical tailings testing and examination of options for TSF location for the proposed 20-year mine life.

Geotechnical advice, reviews and conceptual designs for above ground and mined pit tailings storage facilities for the following projects in Australia. Mineral sands typically split the sand and slimes (slit and clay) fraction during the processing, with the fines fraction potentially having a very low settled insitu dry density and high insitu moisture content, which can inhibit closure.
