Waqar Gul

Field-proven Geologist and Geoscientist with ~9 years of progressive experience in mineral exploration, drilling operations and project management, applied geophysics, geoscientific data processing, oil & gas exploration, and large-scale GISbased field programs across Pakistan. Currently managing multiple mineral exploration and diamond core drilling projects as Assistant Manager - Projects & Drilling Operations at BNB Consolidate (Bore & Bore). Directly experienced in diamond core logging covering lithology, hydrothermal alteration (oxide, sulphide, argillic, phyllic, propylitic), mineralisation styles,

and structural features with systematic database documentation and QA/QC. Skilled in geological and structural field mapping, geochemical sampling (soil, rock chip, stream sediment), drilling contractor management, HSE compliance, and ground validation of satellite remote sensing-based targets. Proven ability to integrate multi-disciplinary G&G datasets -

remote sensing, geophysical, geochemical, and structural data - into coherent exploration workflows for drill target generation. Proficient in ArcGIS Pro, QGIS, Google Earth Engine, and ESA SNAP for spatial exploration data management.

Effective leader and coordinator of multidisciplinary exploration and drilling teams with a consistent record of preparing technical reports, exploration maps, drilling progress reports, and stakeholder presentations.
