Work history

Process Plant Operator

Newmont Ghana Gold Limited
Sunyani, Ghana
2024.06 - Current

CIP/CIL Circuit Operator

Responsible for managing the leaching and adsorption stages of gold recovery to maximise gold extraction while minimising reagent consumption and carbon loss.

  • Control leaching & adsorption by monitoring slurry flow rates, densities, and retention times across leach and adsorption tanks to ensure optimal contact between activated carbon and gold-bearing slurry.
  • Manage cyanide & pH by measuring, recording, and adjusting free cyanide concentration and pH levels across tanks to ensure efficient gold dissolution while preventing hydrogen cyanide (HCN) gas formation.

Grinding/Milling Circuit Operator

Responsible for reducing mined ore from the crushing plant to a fine slurry, achieving the specific particle size required for optimal downstream gold leaching

  • Maintain grind size by monitoring cyclone overflow density and grind size to ensure ore particle fineness meets target metallurgical specifications for maximum gold recovery.
  • Adjust water addition points (mill feed, discharge sump, cyclone feed) to maintain correct slurry viscosity, density, and percent solids throughout the circuit.

Crushing Circuit Operator (Field & DCS Panel Operations)

Safely and efficiently operate and monitor the crushing plant equipment while adhering to company safety, environmental, and operational standards.

  • Effectively operate and monitor jaw crusher performance, conveyor systems, vibrating grizzly screen, and control variable-speed apron feeders to ensure a steady, balanced ore flow into the crushers without causing choke conditions or starving the circuit.
  • Identify, report, and assist in troubleshooting mechanical and operational faults, while keeping constant track of conveyor safety pull-switches, zero-speed switches, belt-rip detectors, and chute level sensors to prevent catastrophic equipment failure.

Skills

  • Ability to operate distributed control systems (DCS)
  • Knowledge of production processes
  • Plant inspection proficiency, root cause analysis, and optimisation
  • Hazard identification and assessment
  • Permit-to-work systems (LOTOTO)
  • Familiarity with safety procedures
  • Ability to interpret plant conditions and respond appropriately to variations
  • Problem-solving and decision-making ability
  • Quality assurance
  • Good housekeeping skills
  • Proactive and adaptable to changing operational conditions
  • Reliable and disciplined with the ability to work shifts
  • High level of responsibility and accountability
  • Good communication and teamwork skills
  • Physically fit and able to work in demanding industrial environments

Certification

MINCOM Plant Operator Certificate of Competency (Ghana)
Certified by the Minerals Commission of Ghana to operate heavy plant equipment, demonstrating advanced proficiency in safe equipment handling, operational efficiency, and strict adherence to statutory safety standards.

Accomplishments

Assisted in the successful greenfield commissioning and operational ramp-up of the Newmont Ahafo North Process Plant (2025), executing pre-commissioning line tracing, wet testing, equipment interlock checks, and field-to-DCS calibration for CIL/CIP circuits. Optimized slurry density, carbon movement, and reagent addition during initial plant feed stages, helping the operation reach design throughput and target gold recovery rates while maintaining a 100% zero-harm safety record.
