Bakolosa Masite

I have over 5 years of surveying and sampling experience in the mining industry in different mining operations like conventional, board and pillar and open pit. I am an energetic, ambitious and hard working person who has developed a mature and responsible approach in any task I am to be assigned with. I have developed the ability to work with people in the spirit of team work, and that has moulded my communication skills as well as my acceptable good conduct with my superiors and colleagues.
