She played a key role in identifying the geological controls on grade variation at Victor and more recently made significant updates to the AK6 geological model at Karowe. She also conducts audits of geological models, designs drilling and sampling programs, and provides training in logging, geological data acquisition, sampling methods, and petrography. Kimberley is a contributing author of several NI 43-101 technical reports on kimberlites and has presented various short course and conference presentations on kimberlite geology and evaluation. She recently coauthored a kimberlite terminology and classification scheme and Glossary of Kimberlite and Related Terms.
