  • Provide technical oversight to Project Geologists and field teams, including guidance on logging, sampling, and interpretation.
  • Support resource modeling and collaborate with Technical Services teams to advance resource and reserve development.
  • Conduct geological mapping and support surface exploration programs as required.
  • Contribute to short- and long-term exploration planning aligned with project and Life-of-Mine objectives.
  • Prepare and present technical reports, updates, and recommendations to management.
  • Communicate geological interpretations, risks, and opportunities clearly to the exploration team and leadership.
  • Maintain high standards in safety, environmental compliance, and field practices.
  • Maintain and improve technical workflows, data quality, and interpretation methodologies.

  • Experience in brownfields or operating mine environments.
  • Strong understanding of orogenic gold systems (Greenstone-hosted systems preferred).
  • Demonstrated experience in drill program design, geological modeling, and target generation.
  • Proficiency with geological software (e.g., Leapfrog, Vulcan, Datamine, ArcGIS Pro).
  • Strong data management and QA/QC discipline.
  • Excellent analytical, communication, and problem-solving skills.

Job Conditions
