Sample cover letter for Full Time position at Capstone Mining

Capstone Mining Corp. 

Suite 2100 – 510 West Georgia Street
Vancouver, BC, V6B 0M3

Dear Human Resource Manager,

Capstone Mining is a leading producer of copper, with highly competitive deposits coupled with low cost operations, the company is strategically positioned to weather the downturn in the mining industry. Since the demand for copper continues to rise at an ever-increasing rate, with strong outlooks from emerging markets, this is one of the sectors I would like to be associated upon graduation in April, 2016. Therefore, I am writing to express my interest in applying for the position of Mine Engineer in Training at the Minto Mine located in Yukon Territory.

Professionally, I have acquired extensive co-op experience in the mining industry. I have had numerous work terms including Junior Project Coordinator, Long Range Mine Planner, and Heavy Equipment Operator. These positions have not only broadly supplemented my technical expertise in the industry, but allowed me to develop a solid foundation knowledge in the various facets of Mine Engineering, bridging the connection between mine planning, production scheduling, contracting, and operations. 

At the University of British Columbia, I have demonstrated leadership skills by taking on the responsibility of a leader through a wide variety of projects and presentations. The opportunity has supplemented my technical knowledge and personal growth, but more importantly, further refined my capacity to lead. Through engaging group members, prioritizing tasks, and managing time, I have progressed to become a more effective leader. In addition, through my academics and work experience, I have built a strong foundation for teamwork and communication skills. In response to your search for a Mine Engineer in Training, I believe my mix of work experience will qualify me for consideration.

I would like to further acquaint you with specifics of my background by enclosing my resume and academic transcript. If given the opportunity, I will outperform what is expected. I look forward to discussing my qualifications with you. I can be reached conveniently at (xxx) – xxx – xxxx or via email at xxxxxx@gmail.com.

Sincerely,
