Mining is insane. We are making assumptions and billion dollar decisions based on samples that represent 0.00001% of the orebody volume. Rock mass stretching metres above us and can collapse and bury us anytime.

Education is SOOOOO00000 IMPORTANT. Degrees. Licenses. Certs. Training classes. Late nights and early morning studying. Weekend and night school. Community college. Don't matter what it takes. JUST DO IT.

Keep watch for signs of mental disorder:

1) thinking about doing a PhD
2) starting a PhD
3) continuing a PhD

@ilovezizo_ I need appetite suppressants 😭

If I can help at least one person get a job and earn an income in mining then I’m happy. We can close the year.

Happy Mining!

Due to personal reasons, I must make it in life.

I didn’t start doing physics until I was 33 and now I work on a cutting edge research project at one of the top labs in the world. You can just do things

Type 3 🥹🤏🏾

[Happy Researchers @hapyresearchers]

Three types of supervisors:

Type 1: I was mistreated, so I will mistreat my students.
Type 2: I was mistreated, and I didn’t like it, so I won't do the same.
Type 3: I was treated well, so I will treat my students even better.

What we learn from our experiences is up to us!

@ilovezizo_ Ewe chomi 😂😭

Underground conventional mining is quite unique. There are things you wouldn’t grasp even if I explain until you see it… like how we drill and blast vertical tunnels called Drops and Inverses. I wish you can see it one day.

Finally back on surface.

[KG⚒👷🏽‍♂️ @kaygeeminer]

We are miners. We are passionate about what we do⚒️

Elderly people will no longer pay for electricity and water in Burkina Faso.

Ibrahim Traore has made it public that elderly people in his country will now have free electricity and water. He intends to make that available for everyone for Free.

He believes that electricity and water are basic things that people shouldn't be paying for it.

Its part of my process... don't question it!

This is a type of rock Geologists call Shale. At first, it looks solid and hard like coal… but when you apply a bit of pressure, it breaks apart easily almost like chocolate.
