Sarah works as a geologist and uses underground mapping to guide mine planning and resource extraction. Her role involves collecting geological data, producing digital maps, and reporting on coal quality and structural conditions. Sarah collaborates with engineers, miners and operators to support safe, efficient production while reducing waste.
Sarah’s work helps optimise how high-quality coal is produced while minimising environmental impact. By using her geology expertise to guide mine planning and decision-making, she contributes to safer operations, reduced waste, and more sustainable resource use.
