Qualifications

To thrive in this role, you’ll need a post‑secondary degree in Geology, registration as a professional geologist, and 5+ years of experience in mineral exploration, ideally with a focus on gold. Project management experience is an asset, along with strong interpersonal skills, a sense of urgency, and advanced computer proficiency (Microsoft Office, Excel, QGIS, MapInfo).
