Respected Sir,
Kindly let me introduce myself to you. I am a third year student
Pursuing my B.Tech. (Honors)Degree course in Mining
Engineering at Indian Institute of Technology,
Kharagpur accredited to be the best technical institute of India.
I am especially interested in the field of Mining Engineering,radioanalytics, radioactivity
and radioactive minerals
and geology and geophysics/exploration geophysics.
I have completed an internship programme during May 2006 to July 2006 under the
guidance of Prof. Viktor Golias at Institute of Geochemistry, Mineralogy and Mineral
Resources, CHARLES UNIVERSITY, Prague, Czech Republic.
During the internship programme i participated in field trips, samples preparation and
data processing.
Field Trips made during the programme :
1. underground uranium mine Ron (Moravia) and visited uranium ore chemical
treatment mill with
uranium concentrate production run by DIAMO.
2. radioactive water springs in Stbrnice (North Moravia).
3. polymetallic deposit Pbram Bezov Hory old water gallery level.
4. Pbram uranium deposit (closed since 1993) and Mokrsko gold deposit (prospect).
5.
Uranium deposit Javornk outcrop, where a secondary dispersion aureole is
investigated at present.
I worked on the following Laboratory Equipments during the programme :
1. Electron Microscope CamScan with electron microanalyzer Link ISIS.
2. Powder Diffractograph XPert Pro (PANalytical) .

3. Laboratory Gamma Spectroscopy on Canberra series 10 scintillation spectrometer.

Work completed during the programme :
1. setting of medicinal radioactive water springs.
2. measuring water radioactivity (emanometer RP25 with ionization chamber) and
preparation of heavy mineral
concentrate from disintegrated rocks.
3. underground geological mapping (horizontal and combined projection methods) and
primary geological
documentation making.
4. radiometric geophysical measurement : soil emanometry (RP25 emanometer) and
shallow well gamma-logging
(KS20 radiometer).
5. geodetic surveying of measurement profiles and samples collection from stratified
soil profile.
6. X-ray patterns processing using software HighScore and Debye-Scherer method.
7. processed samples of geochemical profile (drying, crushing, homogenization, filling
of Marinelli bakers and scaling).
During the programme i also completed the Economic geology field course (G432T04),
held by Dr. Ji Zachari, PhD. (http://twinsen.natur.cuni.cz/eng/sis/predmety/kod.php?
kod=G432T04).
I have done the following projects under the guidance of
Prof.A.K.bhattacharya, Department of geology and geophysics, Indian Institute of
Technology, Kharagpur.
1. identification of minerals.
2. derivng rock composition.
3. study of various properties of rocks.
4. examinig the potential rock deposits
5. contour analysis.
6. rock mechanics
And the following under Prof.U.M.Rao, Department of Mining Engineering, Indian
Institute of Technology, Kharagpur:
1. mine survying

a) plane table surveying

b) chain/tape surveying
2. mine ventilation
3.triangulation
4.blasting
and right now i am working on the project mine development and safety under
prof.A.Bhattacharjee, Department of Mining Engineering, Indian Institute of Technology,
Kharagpur.
I am also working on the project Rock Blasting under Dr.A.K.Raina, Scientist Central
Mining Research Institute, Nagpur.
i have acquired knowledge in engineering and economic geology ( rock mechanics,
contruction/structure of dams,tunnels,seismic waves,earthquake study) under the
guidance of prof.Saibal Gupta and prof.M.A Mamtani, Department of geology and
geophysics, Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur.
i have also acquired knowledge in mineral deposits under the guidance of prof. Biswajit
Samanta, Department of Mining Engineering, Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur
covering all the aspects of drilling, mine access etc.
Sir, right now I want to take up a summer internship in your company in the summer of
2007, where I can work on some project related to Mining Engineering, radioanalytics,
radioactivity and radioactive minerals or geology and geophysics / exploration
geophysics. I am also mailing my resume.
I can contribute significantly to your company while also acquiring an invaluable
learning experience for myself in the process. Given a chance to work in your company i
will try my level best to prove to be a successfull intern.
I eagerly await a reply from your side.
Thanking you,
Yours sincerely
Rajit Goel
