Summary

As Snowy River Gold Mine is a small operation i've become a Multiskilled operator, which has strengthened my Organisation and communication skills, work ethic and of course health and safety for myself and my crew and for the love of mining.

Ive worked around heavy machinery all my life and working as a Logger on the West Coast has made me no stranger to hard work or a sweat up, working on hill sides and carrying a chainsaw all day through thick vegetation, has moulded my work ethic i think is hard to find now days.
