Dear Ms Argent Re: Open pit mine geologist position I am writing to apply for the position of open pit mine geologist, as advertised on GeoCareers.com. I have completed a Bachelor of Applied Science in Geology from Stonecutters University, and am currently completing my honours degree with a thesis on gold recovery at the Eclipse Mine. Currently working as a Mine Geologist (Graduate) at Eclipse, I have gained first-hand experience in mineral analysis while working in a fast-paced environment. I was offered this role after previously working with the company as an Exploration Field Assistant, where I was responsible for core preparation, including marking measurements, photographing and sampling. Since coming on board, I have shown I am able to clearly communicate and collaborate with senior staff and effectively draw on my high level knowledge of minerals and mining processes. During my time as a Grade Control Assistant at GeoStrata, I gained valuable experience in grade control, ROM management, ore body definition and geomodelling (design, planning and scheduling). I was able to demonstrate my capacity to work effectively in a team and was involved in a major project to transition across to a new computer software program. In addition, the experience I have gained while at Eclipse has strengthened my leadership, time management and dispute resolution skills. I have learnt how to motivate team members to work towards shared goals. These community-focused positions have also demonstrated my ability to collaborate effectively with a diverse range of people. My communication and interpersonal skills are excellent, and I am an efficient team player with the ability to adhere to and follow occupational health and safety procedures. I have demonstrated experience working without guidance to a high standard, and achieving results in a timely and professional manner. I am also proficient in essential geology software, including InSite, ROM management, MineSight, Acquire, GIS, and Microsoft Word and Excel. I am keen to make a contribution to your company and apply my skills, while building on my

geology experience and undertaking additional training and development. My experiences have allowed me to develop a unique combination of communication skills along with machinery and technical experience, and I believe I could make a valuable contribution to your team as an open pit mine geologist. My resume is attached and I look forward to being able to discuss the position with you further. Kind regards,

Dennis Slate

Re: Junior exploration geologist position Dear Mr Kenny, I am writing to apply for the position of junior exploration geologist as advertised on Monster.com. As a recent Bachelor of GeoScience graduate, I am looking forward to applying my skills in a practical setting. I have enjoyed the fieldwork component of my degree immensely and am keen to work in diverse and remote locations. Having completed a variety of exploration projects in the field, I have developed a comprehensive understanding of geological mapping and the collection of field data, coupled with the ability to interpret this data and write detailed reports. This has fostered a keen interest in all aspects of mining and resources processes, including open pit and underground investigations, drilling and exploration design. My skills include a good working knowledge of programs such as AutoCAD, ArcGIS, MapInfo/Discover and the MS Office suite. I work well as a member of a team but am also confident in assuming responsibility for tasks autonomously. Through my previous work in hospitality, I have gained excellent communication and interpersonal skills, along with the ability to solve problems and handle challenging situations. I feel that I am a strong candidate for this position due to my extensive experience in team environments and physically demanding roles, and my genuine passion for geology. I would welcome the opportunity to discuss this application with you further, and look forward to hearing from you.

Yours faithfully,

Andrew Stone
