April Technical Lunch

Chris commenced his career in 2001 with Rock Mechanics Technology (RMT) in the UK, primarily focused on the development of novel remote instrumentation for use in the coal mining industry. Since moving to Australia in 2005 he has worked at various operations covering Gold, Nickel, Copper, and Zinc commodities. Currently working at OZ Minerals on their Carrapateena Expansion Project, with a focus on building a strong foundation of Orebody Knowledge in order to minimise risk and maximise value.

Michael Short is currently studying Mining Engineering at the University of Adelaide set to complete his degree mid-2022. Completing vacation programs at Carrapateena (19/20) and Prominent Hill (20/21) mines, he is enthusiastic for further exposure to more of the mining and minerals industry. 
With a passion for environmental sustainability, Michael is apart of a team developing the “Vertically Integrated Potential Energy Reservoir” (VIPER) technology. Technology which holds the potential to unlocking the ability for long term renewable energy storage. He looks forward to integrating this into the renewable energy system developing it through the mining industry.
To keep team skills and physic in play he also enjoys a game of footy with the Westminster Old Scholar team. He is President of the Adelaide University Waterski Club and will quite happily chew someone’s ear off about wakeboarding and the Murray River.
