Engineer offered new role at mine in Mongolia

PORGERA Joint Venture’s underground (UG) senior mine engineer Adrian Gereg has been appointed as development coordinator at a copper and gold mine in Mongolia.
He accepted this role at the Oyu Tolgoi Copper and Gold Mine, Mongolia’s highest profile asset, located in the Gobi Desert, bordering China and Russia.
Gereg joined PJV in November 2008 as a graduate mine engineer, which in 2015 saw him become the company’s first graduate of their Compass Development Programme.
“Being the first graduate of the PJV Compass Development Programme in Porgera has greatly helped in the progression of my career to becoming a senior mine engineer and securing my new role in Mongolia,’’ he said.
The Compass Development Programme offered by PJV is a combination of practical learning, application, mentoring and technology-based instruction.
It acts as a compass to help employees navigate their professional development, networking and career progression in technical and leadership roles in various modules of respective disciplines within the company.
“The amount of knowledge that Porgera gold mine can give to a mining engineer or any other profession is one of the main things I have liked about working for PJV,” Gereg said.
“Almost every day you learn and or find out something new.”
Mining manager of PJV Dale Burgess commended Gereg for his outstanding work performance during his time with the company as he wished him well for his new role in Mongolia.
