• Recommend mining methods.
• Conduct trade-off studies.
• Plan and design new mines.
• Select mine equipment and estimate workforce requirements.
• Estimate capital and operating costs.
• Manage ground-support engineering.
• Evaluate soil and rock mechanics.
• Perform pit slope stability analysis.
• Reconcile mine production with environmental and regulatory concerns.
• Design and implement instrumentation.
• Prepare technical reports (JORC, NI43-101, S-K 1300).
