Reflecting on Two Years in the Mines: A Journey of Growth and Gratitude These past two years have been an incredible ride filled with challenges, victories, and invaluable lessons. Each hurdle I faced and triumph I celebrated has played a crucial role in shaping the person I am today. From navigating the complexities of mining to collaborating with amazing teams, every experience has been a cherished lesson in resilience, adaptability, and continuous learning. I am thankful to SROL (Thor Explorations Ltd ) for providing me with opportunities for growth and development. Every day with SROL has been a chance to push my boundaries, embrace new challenges, and grow both personally and professionally. None of this would have been possible without the unwavering support of mentors, managers, and colleagues who have been there to guide and inspire me every step of the way. I am profoundly grateful to everyone who believed in me and helped me soar to new heights. Looking forward, I'm brimming with excitement for the adventures that lie ahead. Each day, I'm driven to make a meaningful impact in the mining industry and contribute to a more sustainable and resilient future for generations to come. There's still so much to learn, explore, and achieve, and I can't wait to dive in headfirst. Here's to two years of growth, gratitude, and endless possibilities! 🚀 #WorkAnniversary #GeotechnicalEngineering #MiningIndustry #Gratitude

Glencore Summer Internship I am very grateful for the amazing time I spent at Glencore’s Bulga Open Cut mine site! For the last three months I have been a part of the Vacation Employment Program (2023-24) for Glencore Coal Assets, Australia. I had the opportunity to dive into the mining industry, where I explored all aspects of coal mining. I worked in the maintenance planning department, where I was responsible for aiding in the scheduled maintenance and improvement of both mobile and field equipment. I chose this program due to Glencore’s dedication to safety, position as a key player in Australia’s mining industry, opportunities for career development and progression with the Graduate Program, working with leaders in the engineering and mining field, as well as the structured and educational nature of the Vacation Program. During the program, I was tasked with multiple projects. Each project presented unique challenges and drove me to adopt and exercise a variety of skills. My first major project was to create a Failure Modes, Effects, and Criticality Analysis (FMECA) for the Liebherr R9100 excavators on site. This project required me to learn a new method of reporting, meet with planners and the onsite Liebherr advisor, assess the success of the current strategies in place, consolidate my research into developing and justifying new service management plans and component change intervals, as well as construct a completely new document. This project significantly benefited the site in introducing a clear, up to date management plan for the excavators that did not exist before. Another one of my major projects was creating a Trigger Action Response Plan (TARP) to manage the blade overhauls of the pit bulldozers, washery bulldozers, and push cats. This project required me to investigate the repair and replacement history of the blades, perform calculations of wear rates for each blade type, collaborate and meet with colleagues, critically analyse and justify results, and create a new management document that is now implemented across the site. This position was the ultimate opportunity for me to exercise my passion for engineering, mining operations and technology. I have developed my skills of problem-solving, initiative, communication and prioritisation, as well as made numerous valuable professional connections. My goals for this program were to be a sponge and absorb as much information and knowledge as I could, to receive hands-on and extensive experience in a mine site where my work makes a difference, and to make numerous professional connections with leaders, colleagues, and other students in my field. I can confidently confirm that I achieved all these goals and more. I am excited to pursue a career in engineering and to continue broadening my skills and knowledge.

Farewell, Phalaborwa Copper Mining Company! My Grind has Come to an End... (For Now!) As the dust settles after my incredible internship at the Phalaborwa Copper Mining Company, I can't help but feel a surge of emotions: satisfaction, pride, gratitude, and maybe a hint of dust in my throat (it's a good dust!). These past few months haven't just been about textbooks and exams; they've been a baptism by fire in the heart of the grinding game. From wielding a welding torch in the workshop to troubleshooting giants like the Auto mills, I've traded theoretical equations for real-world problem-solving and sweat equity. Every day was a journey through the maze of conveyor belts, a symphony of grinding machinery, and a testament to the power of engineering marvels. But the true gems of this experience were the amazing people I met along the way – seasoned engineers who became mentors, fellow interns who became teammates, and everyone in between who taught me the ropes (including how to avoid those pesky sparks!). This internship wasn't just about "what" I learned – it was about "how" I learned. It was about applying that dusty textbook knowledge to solve real-world problems, from optimizing maintenance procedures to analyzing system failures like a detective on the case. ️ But beyond the technical, it was about forging resilience in the face of challenges, honing my problem-solving skills under pressure, and most importantly, learning the crucial importance of safety. I leave with a newfound respect for the power of a good safety protocol and the responsibility we hold as engineers to keep ourselves and others safe. This isn't goodbye, Phalaborwa. It's "until next time!" The grind may be over for now, but the fire it ignited in my passion for engineering burns brighter than ever. I head back to my studies with a new perspective, a toolbox full of practical skills, and a heart full of gratitude for this transformative experience. ✨ Now, it's your turn! What have you learned on your recent adventures? Did you also get your hands dirty and your mind blown by the wonders of engineering?
