Career Summary
Mike Stewart has a background in mining and applied geology
since 1988, with specialisation in resource geology and geostatistics
since 1996. He started his mining career in alluvial gold on
the west coast of New Zealand with Mineral Resources (NZ) Ltd
where he was engaged in activities ranging from land access
negotiations to tenement evaluation to mining. Between 1991
and 1994 he was employed in the UK by the British Geological
Survey, where he was engaged in geological mapping of the Yorkshire
and Lancashire coalfields and multi-disciplinary project teams
creating thematic planning maps.
From 1994, he was employed by Macraes Mining Company at their
mine site in NZ. It was here that his interest in geostatistics
was first sparked. In 1998 he joined MPI Mines at the Stawell
Gold Mine in Victoria, holding positions of Project Geologist,
Resource Geologist and Senior Resource Geologist. In 2003 he
moved to become Geology Manager at the Black Swan Nickel Operation
in WA.
Mike was appointed Group Technical Leader - Resource Estimation
for MPI Mines in September 2004.
In 2002-2003 Mike completed the CFSG Post-graduate Diploma in
Geostatistics at the Centre for Geostatistics in Fontainebleau.
Mike has particular strengths in mining geology and application
of geostatistics to underground mining operations. He has extensive
experience in both gold and nickel resource evaluation for a
variety of deposit types.
Mike is a Member of the Australasian Institute of Mining and
Metallurgy (AusIMM).
