Careers and Training
 Geological Technician - Kate Leamy BSc Hons Geol

  Geological Technician ARCON Mines Ltd

I am currently employed with ARCON Mines Ltd. at Galmoy Mine Site, Co. Kilkenny, where I have been working for over one year now.

I began my Earth Science studies in University College Cork where I graduated with an Honours degree in Geology. I have a close working relationship with the mining crews in the mine, and much of my work involves assistance with mine development and planning.

As geological Technician I am responsible for providing technical backup to the mine technical department with regard to the collection of geological data, in the form of grade control, rock mechanics, hydrological data and sampling.

My daily duties involve grade control on all faces to be mined, visual estimates of grade, and help in the production of reports regarding mine production.

Working in the mining industry has provided me with the opportunity to work in unique environment which incorporates many disciplines which include technical, environmental, engineering and geological backgrounds.
