Mariajose Romero-Segura Job Title: Senior Hydrogeologist Company: KARARA MINING
Mariajose has a diversified background, having worked in hydrogeology, gold exploration and nickel exploration. Mariajose studied geology in Spain with a strong background in structural geology and petrology. She worked for 6 years in hydrogeology consultancy doing mostly field work in projects related to aquifer exploitation and pollution in agricultural areas. Mariajose moved to Australia at a time when hydros were not in demand however gold explorations were, so she worked for 6 years in gold exploration in Kalgoorlie. In 2003 she moved to Canada and had the opportunity of working in the Raglan Nickel Belt doing mapping and drill supervision and interpretation in the subarctic region of Quebec, living with the Inuits and travelling daily by helicopter to the mapping area. In 2005 Mariajose decided that the cold weather was better suited for polar bears than for her, and returned to Australia and to hydrogeology. Mariajose is currently working for Karara Mining Ltd, a joint venture between Gindalbie Metals and the Chinese steel producer Ansteel, where her expertise is mostly operational.
