Viking Mines Ltd. I graduated from the MSc Mining Geology course at the Camborne School of Mines in 2001. Since then I have had a very rewarding career as a geologist in the resources industry which has afforded me the opportunity to work across the globe. I spent a couple of years working in the coal industry in the UK, followed by 8 years working in Central Asia and Russia on a variety of projects ranging from operating open pit and underground gold mines through to exploration projects which advanced through scoping studies.
